Conference Day 1 + Program

In all the chaos of pulling off the conference, we seem to have neglected the blog posts, and for that we apologize.

Today was the conference kick-off and it went really well. Thanks to Dr. Nathan Atkinson, Dr. Ashley Holmes, and Dr. Mark Noble for presenting their work to us this afternoon. It was thought provoking, interesting, and pretty fun too. And thank you to every one who attended. Thankfully we didn’t run out of coffee.
