#NAVBO2023 was such a fantastic meeting in beautiful #RhodeIsland ! There were meritorious awards, delicious dinners, fascinating science and some beautiful sceneries. It was great to interact with @vascularbiology community. @aikawa_masanori @AikawaElena @Prabhash_PKJ @srvsh_c

This round table discussion led by @aikawa_masanori featuring @vascularbiology DEI committee members covered many interesting topics ranging from addressing cultural differences, incorporating technologies in grant writing and how to be an advocate for your science! ##NAVBO2023

Our first in-person CICS Seminar since COVID hit us!  Our first speaker for the 2023-2024 Season is Frederick Fenter, PhD, Chief Executive Editor of Frontiers Media.  Fred is an active advocate for Open Science and has pioneered open access publishing.
