The 1st SaSSOH, 2013

This SaSSOH symposium is quite unique from other symposiums. Our students will select invited speakers. Students read journal articles wanting to know more, and then they can listen to presentations by these leading authors.

During coffee breaks and reception parties, students have many chances to discuss with leading scientists about the background of their research and experiments.
