The third annual Iowa NSF EPSCoR Symposium brought together researchers, students, and partners from across the state for a full day of connection, learning, and collaboration at the University of Iowa. We welcomed a strong and engaged group of attendees who participated in a keynote from Patrick Mueller (IBI Scientific), interactive sessions led by Jeff Keuter (the University of Iowa) and Amy Colbert (the University of Iowa), and student-focused programming with Taylor Sklenar (Iowa State University). From industry-focused discussions to hands-on professional development and research presentations, the symposium highlighted the growing momentum and collaboration shaping this work across Iowa.
Keynote speaker Patrick Mueller, President of IBI Scientific in Dubuque, shared, “It was such an honor for me to address the attendees of the Chemurgy 2.0 Symposium. I was so impressed by the Professional and Student Researchers in attendance. The Research Community throughout the State of Iowa is truly engaged in improving our environment and the Human condition.”
