Announcing the 2026 MSE Speaker Series!
MSE is back with another stellar lineup for the virtual seminar series, which will be hosted monthly through 2026. After each seminar, we will host an informal virtual social hour, in which attendees can chat with the speaker and MSE members about research, teaching, our pets, and more. Registration to the seminar and social hour is free, but required. New this year: the live session will be available free, but the on-demand video-recording will only be available to MSE members for the first year (and available to the public afterwards).
