“What really makes NG Next special is the interdisciplinary crosstalk that can happen in the labs. We can walk down the hall and say, ‘Here is what we discovered,’ and our counterparts can say, ‘Here are the challenges.’ That’s what makes it all come together.”

—Luke Sweatlock, Director, Basic Research
