HYBRID MEETING
Attendees can participate in this symposium virtually or in person. For questions, contact Julie Fernandez via e-mail.
GORDON CENTER FOR INTEGRATIVE SCIENCE
As the name implies, the Gordon Center for Integrative Science is a space designed specifically to function as a crossroads of modern scientific knowledge. With an open breezeway, shimmering glass panes that allow for a sense of connectedness, and inviting, light-filled atriums that open both minds and dialogues, the structure of the Gordon Center feeds directly into its purpose. However, the building not only encourages dialogue but also creates it. By bounding the University’s sciences quadrangle and acting as a keystone between the Kersten Physics Teaching Center and John Crerar Library, the Gordon Center for Integrative Science creates a community of collaboration between the biological and physical sciences.
