Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce that our Third Annual Life Sciences Postdoc Mini Symposium and Poster Session will take place this Friday from 1pm-5pm in Morgan. Please encourage everyone in your department/center/lab to attend. We have lined up five incredible talks that were selected from a large number of very strong  abstracts. Following the oral talks from 1pm-3pm, we will have a poster session that will include light snacks and some ‘adult’ beverages. 

Please find attached a flyer for you to print and disseminate as well as the list of talks that will take place. We are pleased that the selected talks span multiple Colleges (Science, Agriculture, Health and Human Science) with posters representing more than six colleges! Please plan to come out and support the postdocs in your represented Colleges.
