post-docs, staff) each semester.
Coming Events
CAN Research Center Science Meetings
We host three weekly science meetings each month for CAN Research Center members (faculty,
undergraduate and graduate students, and staff). These meetings provide space to share
research progress, discuss new findings, review upcoming grant submissions, and troubleshoot
research challenges.
All meetings are held virtually from 8:30–9:15 a.m. Email can@sc.edu to learn more or attend.
