Location: UC Merced Campus, California Room
National Labs Day is a one-day conference that showcases research and career pathways available at the National Labs. It is both a mini-conference with research talks, and also professional development for our graduate students, postdocs and junior researchers. We have invited representatives from each of six national labs to speak and serve on a panel: Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL), Sandia National Labs (SNL), Lawrence Berkeley National Labs (LBNL), the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), Los Alamos National Labs (LANL), and Idaho National Labs (INL). There will be a networking lunch and reception, and registration for about 100 attendees.
