E53.00002: Random walks along the squishy boundary of physics and engineering Invited Speaker: Robert Leheny Many of the key problems and systems of interest in soft matter physics are similarly a focus for other fields, such as chemical engineering and biomedical engineering, making the area inherently highly interdisciplinary. Although soft matter physicists and engineers share topics of interest, the reasons for their interest are of course not identical, and when brought together through collaboration, these varied perspectives can help enrich the science. In my talk, I will illustrate this point with some specific examples from projects from my research background, particularly in the area of interfacial rheology. I will also try to offer some advice on how young scientists can position themselves to contribute in an environment where cross-disciplinary interactions are increasingly important.

E53.00003: Collaborating Across Borders Invited Speaker: Amy Flatten Physicists transcend national boundaries, ethnic differences, and scientific disciplines to address globally shared problems and questions. This talk will highlight how scientists have collaborated across borders -- both geographic and scientific -- to achieve ground-breaking discoveries~through international scientific cooperation. The speaker also will address how international collaborations will be even more crucial for addressing future challenges faced by the physics community, such as building large-scale research facilities, strengthening scientific capacity in developing countries, fostering "science for diplomacy" in times of political tensions and other critical issues.
