Mark your calendar and save the date for September 24, 2009! The
National Postdoctoral Association wants to recognize the significant
contribution that postdoctoral scholars make to the U.S. scientific
research enterprise and, at the same time, to increase awareness of
this contribution. Please join us by celebrating the first annual
National Postdoc Appreciation Day and raise your voice with us. The
NPA Outreach Committee has developed a toolkit to help us all
celebrate, and the NPA staff will post the events on the Web site as
soon as they receive the info.<br>
