2025 Year in Review
While 2025 has been a very difficult year for our tiny non-profit, we have attempted to maintain activities including our career portal's content and participating in annual conferences. The slideshow below has some highlights including our team field trip to the Pedersen Automotive Museum and travel to various events. We participated in the annual meetings of the National Postdoctoral Association (NPA), the Science Communication Education Research Network (SCERN), LatinxInBME (Biomedical Engineering) Symposium, and ABRCMS. We also presented at ScienceTalk and SACNAS.
