Spring Meeting: 11-Jul-2020
Please join the us this coming Saturday, 11-Jul-2020 at 1:00 pm, for our virtual spring meeting on Zoom. 

We will enjoy a talk from Marie Bourgeois titled Deployed in Florida. In March of 2020, the governor hired 100 epidemiologists to help the FDOH with the fight against COVID19. Marie Bourgeois was one of 5 professors from USF hired in the first wave. She’ll discuss the things she learned during her deployment in Miami.

Additionally, we will have a chemistry-based trivia game.
