[Grad-postdoc-assn] Tues: Day of Science and Discovery at NCAR

[Valerie Sloan]

Dear all,

Tomorrow's NCAR Day of Science and Discovery at Center Green will be an
excellent opportunity to:

   - Learn about the research at NCAR that is most cutting edge and what
   NCAR is interested in
   - Network with NCAR people and visiting guests from NOAA, etc.
   - Get free food - a catered lunch at 12 pm and a 4 pm reception!

If you are looking for ideas to fertilize your mind on project ideas and
people to brainstorm and collaborate with, go to the talks most interesting
to you, and introduce yourself to speakers and others. - Val
