-Teach each other to use Wien.  Share tips on how to use the software, just as you would in a lab to show someone how to use a piece of equipment.  This kind of collaboration is healthy.+Teach each other to use Wien.  Share tips on how to use the software, especially on how to get to the DoS and the E(k) plots.I do not want access to Wien to be a barrier. This just like being in a lab where you show someone how to use a tool.  This kind of collaboration is healthy. But don't do all thework for the other person.  In a lab, you show someone a tool and he or she decides what experiment to do with it.

 +=== Posters ===
 +You should not go to great expense to generate the posters; 8.5” by 11” sheets pasted to thin poster board will be fine. The total size is limited to about half the size of a whiteboard in WGR 304.

 +You should use color - it makes a huge difference in crystal sructures, band structures, DoS plots etc.
