Sponsored by the ASBMB Public Outreach Committee
Saturday April 2, 2016
9:00 - 11:30 AM
San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina, San Diego Ballroom C
Join the ASBMB Public Outreach Committee for this interactive session that will showcase how to expand, improve, or even just start your own public engagement activity. We will have presentations from representatives from a variety of local outreach programs, including awardees from ASBMB’s HOPES seed grant program, who will talk about their own experiences, successes and mistakes. The session will also feature university officials and former program officers from the National Science Foundation, who will be on hand to give advice on how to best construct your own proposal. Of course, there will be plenty of time for discussion and networking with your colleagues.
There is NO fee to register, and attendees are NOT required to attend the full Experimental Biology meeting.
