Conference Canceled
Dear NSAWS attendees,
Due to the impending storm expected to reach Boston tomorrow afternoon, we have decided to cancel the symposium. We apologize greatly for this inconvenience but in light of the inclement weather, we did not want to jeopardize anyone's safety and after hearing that many speakers would be unable to attend due to travel problems caused by the storm, we thought it would be best to cancel the conference. We appreciate your interest in attending as we had amazing speakers that were very excited to share their knowledge, expertise, experience, and personal insights with you to foster the community of women pursuing careers in science. We hope to either reschedule the conference for later this year or early next year. We will notify you with any news related to this. Again we apologize for having to cancel the symposium but we hope you continue your interest in NSAWS for future events and continue connecting with other women in science.
Best regards,
Jen, Olivia, and Barr
NSAWS Co-Directors
