Early Career Applicants investigating the chemical senses in academic, industry, and clinical settings are all encouraged to apply.

ELIGIBILITY
A junior and senior investigator will be paired up to present on their shared research interests. Pre and post seminar mentoring, such as seminar preparation and shared lab meetings will be encouraged to facilitate network development.

A recording of the seminar will be available on the AChemS website for all participants to view for up to 30 days. In addition to live seminars, ACHEMS MEMBERS may view any past seminar recording for no charge by emailing AChemS Executive Office. Each talk will be approximately 20 minutes, leaving time for 10 minutes of questions. There will be two talks per seminar: one from a senior and one from a junior researcher.
