Dear EMBRIOphytes, Our fourth annual Summer School kicks off next Monday, continuing through Wednesday, followed by our All-Hands Annual Retreat next Thursday and Friday (reminders and event websites below). For those planning to present a poster and/or submit an entry for the scientific figure or live video award - I need that info submitted by EOB Tuesday, June 3rd (tomorrow). There will be a few updates/additions to the events schedules this week, and those will be posted via the website. If you haven't yet done so, please schedule your one-hour and 15 min. time slot with Soumi Mukherjee for your follow up interview to capture your experience in the Institute - separate email sent this afternoon with the details - as part of our Thrust 4 initiatives: https://www.when2meet.com/?30848105-sqcQL<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.when2meet.com%2F%3F30848105-sqcQL&data=05%7C02%7Cembrio-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C8427d9937a924a3a736108dda2149d81%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C0%7C0%7C638844931623006445%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ZdxQstfdmC9B%2FnUgb28drvHoBrEPw7amrVw8qaF5EH8%3D&reserved=0> EMBRIO Summer Events Items: The 2025 Summer School Schedule<https://www.purdue.edu/research/embrio/workforce-development/EMBRIO-summer-school.php> At the website, or in the email that Scott Bolton sent you this afternoon, Please see the additional information for preparing data now for what to bring for the Data Management session on Tuesday, June 10th.
