Dear colleagues, students, and staff,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As incoming department head, I am keen to re-kindle the pre-pandemic interactions that help make our department our academic home. As Josh says, it will be great to start the year in a spirit of community and camaraderie. I hope to see many of
you at this event and at others we will hold to restore more social interactions to MIT Biology.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>
<div class="">Amy Keating</div>
