Using Light to Advance Discovery in Chemistry, Physics and Biology

The photochemistry community encompasses investigators from diverse scientific backgrounds examining a broad range of issues that arise when light interacts with molecular systems. Reflecting this diversity, the 2023 Photochemistry GRS will highlight the extended reach of light-driven methods and processes with a particular emphasis on its interdisciplinary nature. The program will feature research spanning organic, inorganic, biological, and materials systems, a range of experimental and theoretical methods and timescales from ultrafast to ultraslow. This meeting will also feature a mentorship panel discussion on effective strategies in preparing for careers in science. This panel will be composed of a diverse group of Ph.D. scientists who have successful careers in varied areas of science (including both industry and academia) with the intention of demonstrating the large scope of opportunities available and providing insights into different career paths.
