Another year has passed, and the annual Fall meeting is back! We are all settled into our new spaces, and this years meeting will also be in a new space: the Moderna Facility on Binney Street in Cambridge MA. Join us on November 13th for 5 talks and a vendor fair. We will be releasing the speaker list next week, as we finalize the talk titles. I was cleaning out some papers and came across the agenda for our “Immunity and Immune Function in AIDS–Cytometric Methods” meeting from October 5, 2004, if you want to see what we were talking about 21 years ago click here!
We also have a few new committee members joining us this year, so we look forward to introducing them. There will be an “Impromptu BBG” after the meeting.
There will also be a “scheduled” BBG on Monday November 3, we hope you will join us for one or both of the upcoming events! Keep an eye on the mailing list for details (you can sign up on the “contact us” page).
Hello New England Cytometry users! I cant believe its been almost a year since the last post here, I had sent out notices on the mailing lists and social media that we would be skipping the fall meeting this year, but never posted it here! We are still getting settled into our new building for the Ragon Institute, and there are lots of changes. We do have an open position in the flow core, there is a technician level job posting here: https://partners.taleo.net/careersection/ex/jobdetail.ftl?job=3301915
but we are also considering a more experienced position instead, so if you have 5+ years and would be interested in joining our team, let me know!
Monday October 7 we will have our monthly happy hour (or “BBG”) at MEX in Cambridge (500 Technology Square), across the street from the new building (600 Main Street). I’ll be happy to bring folks over in smaller groups to see the new space. Go to the “Contact us” page for the link to sign up for our distribution list if you arent on it already. Looking forward to seeing some of you soon!
