Ancient serrated coins, reverse immigration, quantum spin liquids and Winston Churchill’s WWII speeches: These are some of the diverse topics that Princeton’s students and early career researchers bring to life at Princeton Research Day, the University’s celebration of research, scholarship and creative work, to be held May 6.
The annual event, which this year will be entirely virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic, is an opportunity for undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and other early career presenters to share research across disciplinary lines using everyday language with appeal to broad audiences.
