Hello,
Doing anything Sunday morning at 7 a.m.?
I didn't think so.
Join us at the s&e breakfast to talk shop and eat in Chicago at the
NFB National Convention.
Breakfast will be under $13 per person.
Please RSVP.
Here is a preview of the Science and Engineering Division meeting.
It is going to be a lot of fun.
Thanks for everyone's help to make this happen.
Special thanks to Brian Buhrow and Dr. Gosse for chairing what
look to be really exciting pannels.
