Building on last year’s success, this ‘International Meet the Lab’ event invites scholars to present their labs, centers, lab groups, and to introduce their current/future HMC research. This time, we are privileged to welcome three established guest speakers to chat about their work!

If time permits, after the event, some of the current HMC interest group leadership members will stay to see if any new/current members have questions about this interest group.
