Hey there LORRE people! If you haven’t already, please sign up to participate in the ABE Graduate research symposium. We’re all trying to make the best of our current situation and this is one event you won’t want to miss. They have quite a few students signed up to attend, but need more to actually participate. I mean, what’s a poster session without posters… amiright? If you have an old poster or a new poster or a medium-aged poster, go ahead and present it. What have you got to lose? Actually, you probably have more to gain… LORRE researchers usually fare quite well in the competitions for the symposium and there is actual cash money to be won. Like prizes in the hundred(s) of dollars range. That’s 33 to 66 cappuccinos from Copper Moon. Can you imagine, 6+ weeks of “free” daily cappuccinos? Sounds pretty awesome.

I hope to “see” you all at the symposium next week :) Maybe I should give some negative reinforcement too. Something like if you don’t participate then you have 5 extra hours of unpacking… but that wouldn’t work because unpacking is too much fun to be a punishment.
