<div><br>
A chance to meet other postdocs, socialize informally, and network.
Where else<br>
can you meet other people roughly your age who are not the same old
lab rats<br>
you see every day? By meeting other postdocs you can find out
things you may<br>
not yet know about, such as: How to pay only $6 for movie tickets, how
to use a<br>
free MIT sailboat even on full moon nights, when and where to find
free meals<br>
at MIT, where to find good food in Cambridge, where to dance tango for
free on<br>
a bridge over the river at night under the same full moon, and even
how to get<br>
your $150 refunded from your gym membership. Also, you can take the
opportunity<br>
to share concerns or gripes: how to get cheaper childcare, what to do
about</div>
<div>health care, THE WEATHER! Maybe you arrived at MIT and feel
that nobody gave you a real orientation? Come here!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Drinks and dessert will be provided! Free!!</div>
<div>so TAKE a BREAK from the LAB!!</div>
