Lab meetings

Below is a schedule of upcoming and recent lab meetings for the research groups of Fred Buckner and Wes Van Voorhis. All group members are welcome, as are guests and collaborators. Meetings take place on two Mondays (currently the first and third Mondays of most months). I will try to send an email reminder in advance of each meeting. Food providers are asked to make or buy enough of a relatively cheap/simple snack, such as bagels, to serve ~12 people. Please contact me (crowther@u.washington.edu) if you wish to be added to or deleted from the email list, need to move an upcoming presentation to a different date, or have other questions or comments.
