Dear Faculty, Postdocs and Students,
Planning for the Gail Cassell Microbiology Research Retreat is well underway. This is a weekend event scheduled for October 24-26, 2020. The Micro retreat has always been a wonderful opportunity for students, faculty and post docs to focus on science and to establish new collaborations away from the distractions of everyday life. As always, the department will pay for rooms and meals with the group (this covers all meals during the retreat).
We are finalizing the agenda, but we plan on scheduling the poster session on Friday night with keynote speaker Dr. Susanna Greer on Friday evening. Early bird registration will be from June 15 -July 15 and general registration will be from July 16- August 15. Please submit abstracts online by September 15. We are strongly encouraging all students and post docs to submit abstracts, which will be selected for either poster or oral presentation. Lucrative prizes will be awarded for the best poster/oral presentations.
We look forward to seeing you at the retreat!
Best!
