Dear Faculty Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 2016 Life Sciences Postdoc Mini-Symposium that will be held on Friday April 15, 2016 from 1-5 PMin MRGN (see attachment).  This will be an amazing event where our Life Science postdocs and research scientists will have an opportunity to showcase their research in oral presentations as well as by posters.  We are hoping for broad participation across all departments and colleges interested in Life Science research and I trust that you will personally urge postdocs and research scientists in your own group to consider being part of this inaugural event.  It will be a fun day and a great opportunity for them to share their research and to hear from their colleagues.

Please talk to your group and encourage them to participate.  These events will only be successful if we have representation from all aspects of the Life Science community at Purdue.  Instructions for applying are provided below.

________________________________
To apply follow these simple steps.

(1) Fill out the attached Abstract Form.
