The Breakthrough Electrolytes for Energy Storage (BEES) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) held their third annual All Hands Meeting on March 4, 2021.  The virtual meeting was conducted through Zoom and involved over fifty participants including key researchers, students, research staff, and members of the BEES Scientific Advisory Committee.  The meeting started with an overview of the status of the center by Director Dr. Robert Savinell.  The first session involved 29 student researchers giving rapid fire presentations summarizing their research on 1 slide and talking for 3 minutes to present.  The second session was a talk by Dr. Jesse Wainright and Dr. Thomas Zawodzinski on large scale energy storage technical approaches.  The last session was a brainstorming session for all participants in smaller breakout rooms to discuss the future of BEES.  The BEES EFRC is sponsored by the Department of Energy’s Basic Energy Sciences Program.
