How do scientists go from OMG to PhD? Students, their teachers (and parents) are invited to join EOS Center for a Zoom chat with our seminar speakers, in-house scientists, or graduate students.
If you are a 5th-12th grade student, undergraduate, teacher or parent, join us to ask these questions and more in a Q&A session with our weekly Seminar speakers on Wednesdays from 2:30 - 3 p.m.
- Parents must give permission for children under 18 to participate.
