The visit is scheduled for the week of <span class="ContentPasted14">Sept 11th-17th</span>. On the<b> evening of Monday the 11th</b>, there will be a high-level panel discussion and we have been invited to form a "Youth Council" to have a platform to share
our questions/comments/concerns with the panel and have a bit of the spotlight. We are looking for a diverse group of young researchers who are engaged and want to take on this task. The responsibilities are to meet beforehand to draft prepared questions for
the panel, and to present these and other follow-up at the event. This is an excellent opportunity to have your voice heard by some big-time people from across academic research, industry and government.
