The Matyjaszewski Lab is organizing the Matyjaszewski Lab Webinar Series 2020 (MLWS2020) to host researchers working on various areas of polymer science, including polymerization mechanism as well as sustainability and applications in energy and medicine.
The webinars will take place over Zoom every Wednesday at 1pm (ET), starting on Wednesday May 6, 2020 and will feature two talks (35-40 min) from a PI and a graduate student/postdoc during each weekly appointment.
