Keep up with the latest research from the GSA community!

Hosted by the Community and Membership Engagement Committee of GSA’s Early Career Leadership Program, this online seminar series is designed to showcase research by student and postdoc GSA members. Each month, two presenters discuss their work in an 8–10-minute talk, followed by lively Q&A sessions.
