So many great meetings take place at this time of year, but it's impossible to attend them all, even if you want to. Sending trainees to present their work, however, is important for their growth and professional development! Ms. Tracy Her at ASRI.

IBP's Visscher Annual Symposium is always exciting—not only for the opportunity to hear the outstanding work of our postdocs and graduate students, but also because the keynote speakers are true giants in the field, bringing inspiring science and visionary perspectives.
