Wetterhahn Science Symposium
The 2023 Karen E. Wetterhahn Science Symposium was held on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at the Hanover Inn. We were thrilled to welcome keynote speaker Sian Beilock, president-elect of Dartmouth!
The symposium will return in spring 2024. We can't wait to see you there!
Keynote address: "Academic Performance Under Stress"
Dartmouth's President-Elect, Sian Leah Beilock, delivered the keynote address this year.
