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.

Fall Semester 2004 @ Michigan State University
  • Seminars begin at 11:30 a.m.
  • Refreshments served at 11:15 a.m.
  • Seminars are in Room 1400 Biomedical & Physical Sciences Building.
