Tamaya ABC Note: Only for attendees who signed up for this session)
Have you ever left a meeting wishing you could have met more people, realizing most people you met you already know? Well, then this event is for you! Meeting colleagues from other disciplines can spark a new research idea or open the door to a solution to a problem that has seemed intractable. Each ‘meeting’ is no longer than 3 minutes, and each person should answer these questions:
1. What is your top research interest?
2. What expertise are you looking for in a research partner?
3. What can you offer a research partner?
9:00 – 9:15 a.m. Break
