Through our PDA Inititative Grants, a <b>Postdoc Kids Play Date Initiative</b> was recently formed. The organizer, Xiaoyu Peng, will be attending the event and bringing kid-friendly activities and toys. She's organizing
</span></span><span dir="ltr"><span dir="ltr"><span dir="ltr">beach activities like sand snowmen, sand castles, water balloons, and water relay races! This all sounds fun for postdocs, too :) Please connect with her at the event or via email to
</span>introduce your kids to each other, form a playdate group, and also brain storm more future playdates' activities. Also, please do not hesitate to come to this event if you do not have children to bring along this Saturday - we are planning fun activities
for postdocs in all life phases! <br>
