Greetings from your ARP graduate/postdoc committee! First, we would like to introduce this year’s graduate/postdoc committee. Thanks to Shannon Holleran, Jenn Lodi-Smith, Josh Jackson, Jon Adler, Tony Evans, and Kira McCabe for serving on this year’s committee. Our overarching goal this year is to increase graduate and postdoc involvement in ARP through giving you more opportunities to network and present your work, as well as through addressing your needs to make ARP more valuable to you. At last year’s grad committee meeting, we overwhelmingly agreed that we would like to institute a grad/postdoc symposium, allowing three or four authors of exceptional poster submissions to give a talk at the conference instead. This would not only provide you another line on your vita, but would also serve as an award for your excellent work. The executive committee responded positively to this idea, but unfortunately it was not feasible to implement it into our conference in Albuquerque. One primary goal for this year is to get this symposium up and running for next year’s conference in Chicago. In addition to this project, we welcome any ideas or concerns you have for ARP or for the conference in particular, so please e-mail us with any suggestions. We will be having a full committee meeting sometime in the near future, so we will be sure to address these concerns at our meeting. Thanks, and have a wonderful year! Sincerely, Jennifer Fayard Graduate Representative Erik Noftle Postdoc representative Have a Job Opportunity you want others to know about?
