News & Events

Today's special 5-6pm 'UCI Conversations' show takes place at the CaSTL-NSC Symposium, which was recently held at the UCLA Conference Center in Lake Arrowhead. Scientists from all over the USA and as far away as Finland came together to discuss chemistry at the space time limit. The two interviews step back to talk about science communication, common misconceptions and what's up with those crazy electrons. This passionate show about science is for scientists and non-scientists alike... it's about the love of discovery!
