Unfortunately, GEST at IMS will not be held this year in it's traditional format. In the name of science and keeping everyone safe and healthy, we will be putting out some online content in the coming months to bring you GEST all year! We love having the students with us for an entire day, but we hope you'll enjoy checking in with us throughout the year as we highlight some amazing scientists. Thanks for your understanding and we hope to be back and better than ever next fall 2021.
