CIQM BACON+ Seminar
Picture
Our Center has taken the highly successful Boston Area CarBon Nanoscience Meetings (BACON) and added topics on additional Quantum Materials to form BACON+ Meetings. 

These monthly meetings bring together researchers in the Boston and Washington DC areas to discuss their recent work and exchange ideas about carbon nanotube, graphene, topological insulator, and diamond research in an informal setting. Each meeting consists of two talks (typically by students or postdocs) along with lunch and a coffee break.  The talks are open to everyone and will involve participant speakers from MIT, Harvard and Howard University. Visit the full BACON+ website here
