InspireScience is an annual symposium aimed at nurturing a positive environment for scientists, improving connections with the public, and building a supportive community
Mission
Inspire Science is a celebration of what we love about science – an opportunity to think and talk about how we can thrive in a challenging career, take joy in what we do, and communicate effectively with the greater community.
History
Inspire Science is an evolution of the Symposium Series “Let’s Have an Awesome Time Doing Science”, which first was first organized by Liam Holt in 2009 at UCSF. The series was resurrected at UC Berkeley in 2011, where it continued until 2018. Students from Stanford University adopted the symposium and have been running events from 2014 until today. We are excited to bring Inspire Science to NYU and the East Coast!
Next symposium: October 9, 2024
This year become inspired by learning how early scientific advancements have influenced modern science and human health.
Our speakers will discuss:
Integrating ancient and modern medicine
Solving the organ shortage crisis with genetic engineering
Restoring biodiversity and improving water quality
Combating antibiotic resistance with AI
