Whether you realize it or not, NIST plays a role in your life. In this evening colloquium of lightning talks, a handful of researchers step up to the podium to share their science with presentations no longer than five minutes in duration. Find your NIST connection in this unconventional forum.
Note: These events are most appropriate for high school and above. Children under 7 will not be allowed to attend.
