The symposium will consist of scientific talks by LGBTQ+ graduate students and postdoctoral scholars and will conclude with a panel discussion and a keynote presentation. Presenters have the option of presenting a 20-minute presentation or a lightning talk presentation. Presenters within all disciplines of chemistry are invited to apply. Selected presenters may be awarded registration “travel awards” for the symposium.
