A Lyo101 course was offered last week by LyoHUB featured a full 2 ½ days of training with some classroom, but primarily hands-on lab experience under the able instruction of Drs. Nail, Wegiel and Sacha of Baxter. Representatives from Mettler-Toledo and McCrone were also on hand to instruct and provide hands-on training with DSC and FD microscopy. The class was divided into teams, each with a project to work on over the 2 ½ days, with each team presenting their findings and challenges at the closing program. On Wednesday afternoon, 20 industry members from Indiana SMEs and LyoHUB members arrived for hands-on training in the LyoHUB demonstration facility followed by a day of classes on Lyocalculating, CFD,  for industry as well as all of the students from the  Lyo101 course.
