MNT-EC is holding a Summer Seminar Series every Wednesday, August thru November. Each seminar will feature one of the MNT-EC's very own members who will talk about their summer of 2021 professional development opportunities. Opportunities include writing groups, clean room labs, nano safety and other exciting hands on activities. 

Paul Webster, PhD: Oak Crest Institute of Science, Monrovia, CA, will talk about how basic science, community outreach, and student training can be carried out in a small non-profit organization. The Oak Crest Institute of Science is a scientist run institute in Southern California where faculty use their research projects as a platform to teach laboratory skills to high school and community college students. The presentation will provide an overview of the diverse projects being carried out by this small organization and highlight some of the resources open to this community.
