This year, our conversations will focus on the key challenges and opportunities in soft matter design, including living materials, nanomaterials, and the macroscopic behavior of soft systems. Each seminar will be held from 12:00-1:00 p.m. in Olin 128 with a 30-minute presentation followed by 20 minutes of discussion. From 1:00-2:00 p.m., we will host an optional extended session for one-on-one or small group conversations with the speaker, Cornell faculty, postdocs, and graduate researchers. You are welcome to leave after 1:00 if your schedule requires it, but we hope you will stay for this additional dialogue, which we view as an essential part of the series.We look forward to your participation and to another year of discovery and exchange.Organizers: Sarah Hormozi, Itai Cohen, Eric Dufresne, Nick Abbott, Uli WiesnerCoordinators: Taylor Parente and Mehryar Jannesari GhomshehCornell Soft Matter Hub
