Mark your calendars for the following events sponsored by the PDA:

• September 6—Open meeting

• September 14—Retreat at New York Botanical Gardens

• September 22—Welcome BBQ

We will also soon be accepting applications for another conference award for those postdocs who have not been able to attend a meeting. Watch your e-mail and attend the open meeting in September to find out more about eligibility and selection.

We are always open to your suggestions for new initiatives and we rely upon you to inform us of any problems you are having so that they can be addressed appropriately as they relate to the entire community. Please attend the open meeting so that we can all be involved in making the postdoc/RA experience at Rockefeller even better!
