National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) 2019
NPAW is an annual celebration meant to increase awareness of postdocs and recognize the contributions they make to U.S. research and discovery. This year, the USC Postdoc Association has partnered with our friends from the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and a number of USC offices and affiliates to celebrate over 600 postdoctoral scholars here at USC! Each day we will host an array of fun, informative events and freebies for postdocs to enjoy, along with a day trip to Catalina Island!
The 2019 NPAW will take place on the 16th to the 21st of September – be sure to keep your week free!
