Celebrating National Postdoc Appreciation Week
National Postdoctoral Appreciation Week was different this year due to COVID-19 event restrictions. Unfortunately, the Annual Appreciation Breakfast and end-of-the-week family picnic were both canceled. In their place, however, a robust collection of postdoc research was presented during the Second Annual Arizona Postdoctoral Research Conference.
