“The experience at the symposium was very enlightening. The breadth and coverage of topics related to energy displayed in the poster presentations were surprising and remarkable. The event’s highlight was the career panel. Understanding what skills and knowledge gaps exist in the industry will help ensure my work is solution-oriented.”
