This "Science of Adhesion" GRS program complements the topics of the GRC focused around the molecular insight to understanding fracture and adhesion. Unique to the GRS, it provides an environment focused for graduate students and post docs to discuss and exchange cutting edge ideas in adhesion science. The topics cover a range of surface related phenomena such as adhesion, friction, and wetting at many different length scales from single molecules to large scale mechanics. The GRS offers opportunities for technical and professional development through invited talks, poster sessions and career planning. For many attendees, this is their first exposure to this community and it offers perspectives from various backgrounds and most importantly seeks to promote stimulating and open discussion amongst your peers.
