A lot can be accomplished in an informal setting. Members of the Genomics Forum (and those interested in becoming members) are invited to gather at Estia for networking and socialization.
We hope that the topics that come up during the first Meet and Greet will lead to discussion in our second meeting of specific activities that the Forum can sponsor related to those hot topics. Whether or not you attend the first Meet and Greet, we hope that you will join us for another night of informal gathering to discuss next steps of the Genomics Forum.
