SCIENCE AT THE EDGE

Traditionally distinct science disciplines are merging to create new and startling opportunities. Share the excitement and challenge each week through seminars and discussions with nationally recognized pioneers in science at the edge

Seminars included on this schedule are in these three series: Interdisciplinary Physics Seminars, Quantitative Biology and Modeling Seminars, and Engineering Seminars.

Spring Semester 2003 @ Michigan State University
  • Seminars begin at 11:30 a.m.
  • Refreshments served at 11:15 a.m.
