Keynote Address in the LSC Theater: Dr. Samuel Ramsey "Hive and Prejudice: The Enduring Obstacle to Saving the Bees"
Being a bee researcher sounds straightforward. I always expected that the tough part would be figuring out what’s killing the bees. However, along my path to becoming a scientist, I’ve encountered the same obstacles that are slowing our progress in protecting our pollinators. I’ll discuss how we’re using these insights to make progress in some of the world’s most intractable issues.
5:00 - 6:30 p.m.
Awards Reception in the LSC Ballroom
This year, collective contributions of $24K in sponsorships will be awarded to 58 top graduate students across various disciplines. Learn more about this years awards from our generous sponsors here.
