Chemistry After Dark: Research Talks By Grad Students
Chemistry After Dark: Research Talks By Grad Students, For Grad Students. A monthly evening discussion group featuring research presentations by our own graduate students on the hottest research in the department. Grad students learn to give clear and understandable talks on their work to a wide and varied audience.
Chemistry After Dark talks always become lively and exciting discussions, sometimes even leading to collaborations between groups. Food and drink provided by the department. Come relax and chat chemistry with friends! Organized by Kurt Kistler (kkistler@temple.edu).
