We are grateful and excited to be able to continue to offer our programming (virtually) during COVID. As you probably know, most of our members learn about FUTURE by word of mouth. We are asking you, if you are willing, to share this announcement with your colleagues/peers/friends at UC Davis (PhDs and Postdocs). We hope to make our resources and offerings available to all who are seeking support at this time, and you are a main channel to help spread the word!
