They are simultaneously recorded and made freely available subsequently via streaming from the NSMS course resources page at ORNL, which will also contain various other materials associated with the course. To participate in the course, all you need to do is go to either of the following links and follow the registration instructions therein. Once you have registered, you can enter the course resources page via the login button.<br><br><a href="http://neutrons.ornl.gov/education/nsms2013/"><span style='color:windowtext'>http://neutrons.ornl.gov/education/nsms2013/</span></a><br><br><a href="http://jins.tennessee.edu/nsms2013/"><span style='color:windowtext'>http://jins.tennessee.edu/nsms2013/</span></a><br><br>Registration is free to everyone interested in the subject areas. We append the note here that “registration” does not mean actual credit in a formal sense but rather is a means to gain access to the material of the course and for us to keep track of the utilization of the course resources page.<br><br>Graduate students can enroll and participate for credit within their program if the course is set up and formally acknowledged within the graduate program at the given institution. We also look forward to hearing from you if your Department is interested in formal participation along these lines.<br><br>We hope this collaborative multi-institutional initiative will be of interest and value for the broader soft matter scattering community.<br> <br>With thanks from the NSMS organizing team,<br><br>Sow-Hsin Chen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology<br>Sunil Sinha, University of California, San Diego</span><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:windowtext'>Takeshi Egami, University of Tennessee/JINS<br>Meiyun Chang-Smith, Coordinator, ORNL/JINS<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
