... The four topics set forth in the workshop task statementdiscovery, interfaces, challenges, and infrastructure were covered in each of the breakout sessions as they intertwined with the session topic. Participants were asked to offer short phrases describing chemistry and chemical engineering's contributions or needs in each of the breakout sessions.
