4th Annual Early Stage Investigator Networking Event at the 25th Annual Mark Wilson Conference


This year’s Mark Wilson Conference (MWC) will continue to include a networking event for early stage investigators (ESI). We invite early career (Assistant level) principal investigators who are about to or recently started their lab, or postdocs who aspire to start their own group soon, to attend. The goal of the event is for oral microbiology/immunology ESI to interact with each other and form a young MWC network. This year’s ESI event will be a Graycliff Chocolate & Spirits Pairing to be held Saturday, February 7 at 4 pm. The ESI officers will reach out to the ESI members regarding this event. If you are an early stage investigator and you have not been introduced to the ESI Group, please contact Apollo Stacy about being added to their email list.
