Special Events
SPECIAL EVENT: Roundtable Discussion on Resilience of US Research
Join us for an open, community-wide conversation on the proposed cuts to federal research funding and what they could mean for the future of universities, innovation, and the broader scientific enterprise in the United States.
This roundtable will explore:
• The potential impact on universities that rely heavily on federal grants
• How funding uncertainty affects early-career researchers, labs, and long-term projects as well as student retention and success
• Strategies for building resilience in the research ecosystem
This is a space for researchers, administrators, policymakers, and students to share perspectives, voice concerns, and brainstorm responses as a community.

SPECIAL EVENT: Failure: The Greatest Teacher
The vast majority of scientific literature and conference talks report positive results, but there is a lot to be learned from negative results and missteps as well. Do not miss this opportunity to hear recognized leaders in the field discuss failure and perhaps recount some of their most spectacular learning experiences during a frank and friendly discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. Speakers and audience alike are encouraged to check their egos at the door for this event that has turned into an EMA highlight.
