Travel Scholarship and Abstract Deadline Extended for 2020 SACNAS Conference
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the national SACNAS organization has decided to extend the deadline for research abstracts and travel awards to July 10, 2020 for students at all levels! If you missed the initial deadline there is still a chance to apply! However, applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis so it’s encouraged you still apply early.
2020 Champaign Public Library Outreach Event
We held our annual outreach event at the Champaign Public Library on February 22, 2020. This year we had demos related to 3D printing, in collaboration with the Illinois Geometry Lab. We had stations for learning about polymers and modeling, as well as a station with an actual 3D printer itself. Thank you to everyone who volunteered!
