Dear EMBRIO Members, Please see the action items below regarding our upcoming summer school and annual retreat. Please also act on the separate embrio-list email sent to you today on behalf of Soumi Mukerhjee in the Gardner Lab to schedule your follow up interview that is critical for Institute evaluation research and reporting. Soumi requests you fill out your schedule for a full hour of time. An FYI that I will be away from email 5/24 - 6/1. If you have questions regarding logistics for the events please contact Jennifer Goad at goad3@purdue.edu.
