Abigail had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Molecular and Ionic Clusters, which was held in Ventura, CA. Profound gratitude to her PhD Advisor for his strong support and mentorship. Her PhD advisor, Prof. Hrant P. Hratchian was invited to be the Discussion Leader for a session on "Modeling Complex Phenomena with Atomically Defined Clusters".

Big thank you to her senior colleague Andrew Bovill for his kindness and the wonderful drive from Merced to Ventura, CA. Thank you to the Hratchian Group at UC Merced for the synergy! It was really exciting and a great learning experience to attend her first GRC conference!
