Distinguished Lecture Series
The CMDR Administrative Core organizes a series of Distinguished Lectures. Speakers are invited based on the relevance of their work to each project and on its impact in the areas of interest. The goal is to inform and educate Center members about ongoing, high impact research and to establish relationships with important contributors to the field.
