The Power of Human Networks in the Information Age

Event Description:

In the age of the Internet, any of us can reach just about anyone in our networks almost instantaneously (most of the time), no matter where they are on the planet. This also enables us to do humanitarian work which was heretofore less feasible. Dr. Bego Gerber will discuss the portfolio of exciting opportunities that Chemists Without Borders are able to pursue as a result of the generous volunteerism of our members — chemists and non-chemists alike — and the benefits of the Information Age.
