Rising Stars in Soft and Biological Matter Symposium 2022
Through October 7, 2022
The University of Chicago and University of California San Diego MRSECs are co-sponosoring a Rising Stars in Soft and Biological Matter Symposium. This provides a platform for exceptional early-career scientists in the broad field of soft and biological matter to present their work. The speakers are chosen for their track record of research accomplishments and demonstrated contributions to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM.
