Ceramic Tech Chat
From academia to industry, from early career to seasoned scientists, take a look at ceramic and glass materials through the eyes of ACerS members.
Ceramics: More than just a job description
For ACerS members, being a ceramic scientist or engineer is more than just a job description—it is the culmination of interesting and sometimes roundabout journeys to a career that lets them make a big impact in today’s world.
Hosted by ACerS Bulletin editors, we talk to ACerS members and learn about their unique and personal stories of how they found their way to careers in ceramics. Join us at Ceramic Tech Chat as we learn what they discovered personally, professionally, and scientifically along the way.
This podcast publishes on the third Wednesday of every month.
