Here are the latest events and opportunities, in the life sciences and beyond!
(NEW!) Thursday, 9/14 Pre-Climate Week Hardware Happy Hour. Before NY Climate Week events start in earnest, the local hardware, manufacturing, and maker communities will be gathering at the Gatehouses in the Navy Yard for an informal evening of networking, mingling, and maybe even the occasional ad hoc prototype demo.
