This year expect topics in circadian rhythm, covid19, citizen science initiatives and much much more.

Meet scientists and engineers live over Zoom for a Q&A about their work, what inspired them to get into the world of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and much more. Engaging 15-20-minute videos will be posted in advance showcasing what each professional does in his or her work and discoveries and inventions they've made this last year.

Participants engage in a variety of professional learning and networking opportunities to connect with innovative educators and industry experts & scientists.
