Weekly Postdoc Sports<https://pda.mit.edu/events/sports-events/>

LGBTQ+ and allies<https://qtphds.mit.edu/>

Do you like cookies?  Want to show off your baking skills?  Maybe you just need an afternoon break from the lab with some delightful people?

Join qtPhDs (LGBTQ+ postdocs and allies) for our annual Cookie Exchange on Thursday, Dec. 12th, 4-6 pm in the Rainbow Lounge (50-250).  Bring your own cookies to share, homemade or store-bought, and leave with a marvelous assortment of all types-if you can avoid eating them all on the spot!

We will provide coffee, tea, and extra cookies.  Even if you don't come bearing baked goods, your company is more than enough.  We hope to see you there!
