Nominations sought for 2022 speakers
The ECS San Francisco Section hosted its Inaugural Young Investigator Lecture Series on November 19, 2021. Over the course of the three-hour virtual session, attendees were treated to 10 short presentations by senior graduate students and postdocs from California universities. The talks covered a wide range of electrochemistry research, from lithium-ion batteries to CO2 reduction, fundamental examinations of ion transport, and charge transfer kinetics.
Filling the pandemic-related void of in-person conference opportunities
The past two years have seen a pandemic-induced dearth of in-person conferences, which young scientists rely on to build their professional networks and establish themselves in the scientific community. This lecture series endeavored to provide such a forum virtually. To attract the broadest audience possible, it was open to the public with no registration required. We were proud to host this forum for a wide range of interested attendees, and facilitate an engaged, frank and open discussion of cutting-edge electrochemistry research.
Nominate next series’ speakers
The ECS San Francisco Section expects to host such lectures on a regular basis, establishing the series as a forum for young researchers and a window into the future of electrochemistry. The section is accepting nominations for speakers for the second Young Investigator Lecture Series, which will be presented in early 2022.
