MICRO Summit Attendees Tour NUANCE
On Friday April 4th, The NUANCE Center was happy to host a tour of 12 undergraduate students from across the United States who were in town attending the 2025 MICRO Summit. MICRO—the Materials Initiative for Comprehensive Research Opportunity—is an online research and education program for undergraduates who aspire to attend graduate school and pursue a research career in STEM, and who are interested in exploring Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) as a potential field of study. The program is designed for students whose home institutions do not offer an MSE major, and it aims to increase participation in research and education in MSE. MICRO participants are paired with a lab in either MIT or Northwestern’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering and conduct research online under the direct supervision of a researcher (most frequently a graduate student, postdoc, or research scientist).
A big thank you to Prof. Cécile Chazot of Northwestern, and Dr. Jessica Sandland of MIT, Co-founders of the MICRO Program for including a tour of NUANCE in your annual summit!
