will return in September 2023 with a focus on Neurodegenerative Diseases, including ALS.
This symposium has been named after Dr. Jonathan Schoer, who was a valued member of the Valparaiso University Chemistry Department and an active environmental researcher in NW Indiana. One of his interests was working with the Solar Furnace research group at Valparaiso University. After his diagnosis of ALS, Jon requested that we establish this conference as an ongoing event to bring cutting edge environmental science and policy to local community members. Jon passed away in 2020, and we dedicate this conference in his memory.

This symposium is targeted to a broad audience and community engagement. There will be a range of guest speakers focusing on a broad range of topics related to from scientific progress to adaptive equipment advances to hospice care. We hope you will join us to learn more about the current work in this field from a variety of leading experts, including speakers from universities, medical experts and community representatives.
