Postdoc 2026 Welcome back party !

[Megan Priestley]

It’s 7pm on a Thursday, your experiment just failed.  As you look around at all of the cleanup you need to do before staggering home defeated, you hear it.

A little voice, deep inside.

“I used to be fun”

The voice says, as you empty your ice bucket, store your samples in the -80 and contemplate the series of choices that led you to this moment.

“What does fun even mean anymore?”

Well fellow postdocs, we have an answer for you.  And that answer comes on a different, happier Thursday at 7pm.

We at the PDA believe that ALL postdocs are fun, all postdocs are cool, and all postdocs sure as heck deserve to live a little.  So, come dance the night* away with the coolest group of ‘not that kind of doctor’s’ this side of the Charles river!

Deetz:

  *   When: Thursday Jan 22nd, 7-10pm
  *   Where: The Lilypad in Inman Square
  *   RSVP here: https://forms.gle/AG9e31B8HTzB9Th66
  *   Entertainment: MIT’s very own Postdoc DJ - Zach Rogers, PhD aka Altoduoro
  *   Food: We will provide a selection of cheese/charcuterie (but make sure you eat dinner beforehand pls)
  *   Alcohol: Beer, wine and cider will be available for purchase at the bar (don’t forget your ID!)
  *   Dress code: That sick outfit you bought with your “competitive” postdoc salary but can’t wear to lab for fear of bleach stains?  This seems like the event to bust it out for.  Take a risk, show some style

See you next Thursday!

Best,
Jake, Megan & the Postdoc Association


*7-10pm is more of an evening, but hey we can go out afterwards, just don’t plan too much for Friday morning
