Event description

Calling all scientists! Please join us for virtual networking sessions designed to facilitate collaboration and scientific innovation. To accommodate different time zones, we’re hosting two separate events. Sign up for one (or both!) using the links below. 

Session 1, January 13th at 11 am EST. Register here.

Session 2, January 13th at 8 pm EST. Register here.

The event will start with brief remarks from GFI’s Vice President of Science and Technology, Liz Specht, Ph.D., with networking sessions to follow. Both group and 1-on-1 networking sessions will be available following her introduction. Each event will last for 90 minutes, but you are free to come and go as you please. These events are open to scientists at any level who are interested in alternative proteins, so please share this invitation with your colleagues!
