The M.R. Bauer Foundation Scientific Retreat 2007
&
Volen National Center for Complex Systems Annual Retreat 2007

The 2007 Volen National Center for Complex Systems retreat was held at MIT’s Endicott House. Five of our newest Brandeis faculty members spoke about a variety of topics. The interdisciplinary nature of this retreat is a fine example of the diverse scientific efforts of the Volen Center. The day was a total success, with excellent speakers; informative posters presented by postdocs and graduate students; and ending with colleagues enjoying a delicious and relaxed buffet dinner.
