Abstract
What can the perfect burger teach us about discovering the next generation of materials?
The USACM has established a virtual seminar series that will run for six weeks over the course of this summer. Exact dates and times will vary each week, but a full listing of the speakers is available here:
https://www.usacm.org/seminar-series
The series features young computational mechanicians from across the US. The talks are an opportunity for these young scientists to showcase their research activities during a period in which so many conferences and meetings are being cancelled or postponed.
Reading the article, future role of iMechanica (node/908) posted by Teng (user/10), I am thinking that iMechanica may replace mechanical seminars, lectures conducted by invited mechanicians, in the future.
Academic seminars have several functions: first, to exchange information; second, to build up connections.
