National Postdoc Appreciation Week

National Postdoc Appreciation Week 2023 (September 18 – September 22) is celebrated to recognize the significant contributions that postdoctoral scholars make to the University of Chicago research community and overall U.S. research and discovery.  In 2010, this week was officially recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives. Events will be held throughout the week for postdocs.  Here are the events planned by the BSD PDA and see a full list of NPAW events at UChicago with registration links below!
