"Working in the Lineberger group was always exciting... from making liquid nitrogen ice-cream in the Peace room with Django and Tanya on a warm Saturday afternoon, to hearing Mark blasting Madonna's "Like a Virgin" into the hallway on a late night laser realignment... There was never a dull moment - except for maybe the yearly roots-pump oil change."
- Adam Gianola

About the Celebration

In June, 2009, Carl Lineberger will celebrate his 40th year in JILA and the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of Colorado.


Carl and the planning committee for this event invite the students, visiting fellows and other colleagues who have worked in and with the Lineberger Group to return to Boulder for a reunion on June 12 and 13. This will be an opportunity for the "co-conspirators" to renew old acquaintances and meet some new people who have, until now, been only names on published papers.


A variety of activities are planned, including a poster session and a formal program on Saturday afternoon. There will be other activities that will be fun for everyone in the family. It will be a wonderful weekend to gather and celebrate 40 years of ion chemistry research.


As a "co-conspirator," or co-author (see list below), you are invited to register for this event via the Registration tab. If you are unable to attend, we would still like to hear from you. In any case, browse the Gallery tab and please send us photos of your time in Boulder.


If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Carl Lineberger or one of the members of the planning committee listed on the Contact tab. Krista Beck is Carl’s Administrative Assistance and is prepared to answer any questions you might have concerning this event.
