Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago
August 21-23, 2023
This workshop is a space to connect all of the current and recent postdocs affiliatiated with NSF TRIPODS institutes. We will host research talks by postdocs, panel discussions with PIs, and social events.
We hope this will not only be a fun and intellectually-stimulating event, but also a chance to build a strong community of early career researchers!
Please register here (if you have not registered as a speaker).
