We're looking for a student who has attended a past ERN Conference to share their journey on stage at the 2027 Emerging Researchers National (ERN) Conference in STEM - March 4–6, 2027, at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. This panel highlights ERN alumni who've gone on to thrive in graduate school, postdoctoral positions, or the STEM workforce. By spotlighting these near-peer role models, we hope to show how ERN has shaped their path and career. Know an exemplary student - or want to nominate yourself?
