Grand Rounds

We have a change in our scope for the research Grand Rounds for April 9th, 1-2pm. Two of our colleagues from across campus will share their timely perspectives in a moderated panel focused on the role of research, funding foci and areas of scientific progress, and the roles of U-M in uplifting new ideas in support of social justice and civil discourse.

This will be an in-person-only event, and pizza and beverages will be provided from 12-1pm, and the speakers will start at 1:00pm.
