Saturday Update

Good afternoon!

We are regrouping on our Saturday plans due to the inclement weather. We will end the meeting at 10am on Saturday morning after Dr. Claudia Pinter's lecture. Video recordings of Dr. Pinter's lecture and Dr. Liu's lecture will be sent to meeting attendees in the next few days.

Be on the lookout for a follow-up email and stay safe!

Best,
Dr. Pittman
