I wasn't sure where to put this information but I wanted to pass it on because this event is going to be pretty awesome:
The Toronto Chapter of the STLE will be hosting their annual education day in october. This is always a great event, however this year there is a focus on specifics about formulations, presented by some industry experts many of whom work in the Toronto region.

Overview of Course:

2) Discussion of laboratory testing methods of these formulations. Speaker Wayne Mackwood, Chemtura Corporation.

If you are from the southern ontario region and are interested in attending please PM me and I will give you further details. Not only will this be a great opportunity to learn more about different approaches to formulating, but it may also be a good opportunity if you know someone who is interested in the field of Tribology but doesn't know where or how to get started (ideal for students!)
