Grow. Connect. Renew.

Are you looking for a place to grow connections for your faith and your scientific work? Find community with other Christians in science, grow your ideas on science and faith, and renew your sense of why your work matters. Hear from engaging keynote speakers who are modelling different ways to connect faith and scientific work. If you’re a student or early career professional, explore your own ideas and professional growth in our student/early career programming. Wherever you are in your scientific career, connect with a community of Christians in science. Keynote Speakers: Francis Su, S. Joshua Swamidass, Erica Carlson, Jessica Moerman, Harry Lee (Hal) Poe

Registration opens soon–in the meantime please submit scholarship requests and poster abstracts below.

Student/Early Career Programming: 

 

InterVarsity’s Emerging Scholars Network will sponsor a student/early career session, a gathering over a meal to connect with other grad and undergrad students and early career professionals, and a reception. It’s a great opportunity to connect with other Christians in a similar career stage.

Scholarships—Available whether presenting or not: 

ASA has generous scholarships available, covering 100% of conference registration costs and meals and lodging. All student/early career participants are eligible to apply for scholarships, whether they are presenting a poster or not. Grad students, postdocs, and professionals less than 3 years out from their most recent degree are eligible. Apply for scholarships.
 
Poster Opportunities: 
 
Submit a poster abstract and share your scientific work with other conference participants. We will provide an opportunity in the early career track for support in thinking through how the project might integrate with your faith.
