May 22: 15th anniversary celebration conference
We have invited distinguished alumni and international researchers to join us in a conference retrospective covering the wide array of research questions and approaches that have emerged from our experiment in collaborative, interdisciplinary science.
Besides the talks, there will be fun activities inspired by our IceLab Camp experience designed to get everyone interacting. We will wrap the event up with a special dinner.
