The Taubman Institute Talks Science
Taubman Scholar Max Wicha stands between Suling Liu and Hasan Korkaya, who represented his laboratory at a Taubman Talk.
One of the cornerstones of the Taubman Institute is a collaborative environment, where the exchange of ideas and creative interaction across disciplines are vigorously promoted.
As part of this mission, each month we hold a brown-bag series called “Taubman Talks”, at which members of all the Taubman laboratories get together to share and discuss their latest research.
Each month, a different lab takes its turn:
