The Water Cooler Series is a monthly event for the water student community planned to bring the community together and share interesting research/ideas/plans with peers from different disciplines and backgrounds. The informal setup for the “Water Cooler Series” will provide students a platform to discuss brewing ideas about water-related research and get help/support from the peer group. The presentation need not be research focused. If you have some interesting field anecdotes or stories to share, this is the forum for you!
The discussion sessions shall be followed by networking/happy hour to build a community of like-minded water researchers. The discussion session will follow a relaxed and open-ended format. The series is presented by the Penn State Association of Water Students.
