This program aims to connect students with experts to discuss about their research in science, arts, social sciences, and many other fields! We host focused (around 20 minute) interviews with leading researchers, answering questions submitted by students. As so many classrooms transition to remote learning, this will provide a resource for students and teachers to connect from home, directly to research at the cutting edge.
Interested in taking part? See links for students, teachers, and researchers.
