How do you become a professor at a research-oriented institution? What is the application like and what steps should you take in your graduate/post-doctoral career to get there? The Center for Nanothread Chemistry ponders these questions in a live discussion with chemists Dr. Elizabeth Elacqua (Penn State University), Dr. Vincent Crespi (Penn State University), Dr. Steven Lopez (Northeastern University), and Dr. Thomas Mallouk (University of Pennsylvania).

This video was recorded as apart of a live event over Zoom available for graduate students and post-docs studying chemistry or tangentially related fields. Panelists were asked questions from the audience and their responses were recorded for distribution to the greater public.
