Summary
Join us for a relevant and thought-provoking Science Café probing a topic that has dominated headlines: The role of critical minerals in energy systems.
In conversation with Karen Goldberg, Vagelos Professor of Energy Research, we’ll hear from Eric Schelter, Hirschmann-Makineni Professor of Chemistry, as he lays out how these minerals play a vital role in our daily lives—doing everything from powering our smartphones to paving the way for the clean energy transition. Professor Schelter will also walk us through the science that helps these minerals tick, transforming them into critical building blocks that fuel our modern world. Bring your appetites, your questions, and your curiosity!
Check-in will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the program will start at 5:45 p.m.
