This annual symposium hosts a Nobel Laureate to talk about his or her life experiences and work that led to their success, and this year we are hosting William Moerner, PhD, recipient of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

There are two main virtual events on September 11th:

• Dr. Moerner will participate in a panel discussion at 1:00pm entitled “Being an Effective Expert When Expertise is Refused”
• Dr. Moerner will present his keynote lecture at 3:30pm “The Story of Light and Single Molecules: From Early FM Spectroscopy in Solids, to Super-Resolution Nanoscopy in Cells and Beyond”

Registration is required for all of these events.

Up to 20 UNC postdocs will have an opportunity to participate in a meet-and-greet with Dr. William Moerner from 2:45 -3:15 pm. This requires a separate registration, more information linked here.
