Description
We look forward to seeing all CNMS graduate students and postdoctoral
researchers come together to celebrate interdisciplinary research and
build connections.

Lightning Round Talks
Lightning talks are short speeches that differ from traditional conference presentations. Each speaker gets five minutes and must use a limited number of PowerPoint slides (1-5 slides). The main goal is to spark new conversations and collaborations across disciplines with fast-paced presentations.
