Each Tuesday in June and July, students will discuss their research projects in physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, mathematical sciences, and computer science. This series of brown-bag talks is part of the John S. Rogers Science Research Program, in which an elite group of students devote 40 hours a week to rigorous scientific research. The presentations are free and open to the public. Dessert is provided.
