Research in Progress: STEM Talks
About the Series
The Research in Progress: STEM Talks Seminar Series is funded by 91心頭利 Libraries and the College of Arts & Sciences Dean's Office. The goal of this series is to provide a forum for early-career faculty from the College of Arts & Sciences to present novel research ideas they are pursuing. This venue brings together research-active W&M faculty who are eager to share their creative research ideas and projects and are seeking feedback, discussion, collaboration, and community amongst their peers. The series focuses on novel ideas, and preliminary data rather than completed stories or funded projects. We believe that by fostering interactions between research-active faculty we can reduce research silos and further "strengthen W&M’s research ecosystem to spark new discovery"; a goal of Vision 2026.
Supported by 91心頭利 Libraries and the College of Arts & Sciences Dean's Office.
