PDA Family Beach Day!

[Megan Priestley]

Hello all,

This Saturday, if conditions are favourable, you may be lucky enough to witness one of New England's rarest natural phenomena. As temperatures rise, the elusive MIT postdoc emerges from the fluorescent glow of the laboratory and migrates towards the shores of Carson Beach, where it can be found basking in the sunshine and foraging for complimentary snacks.

(Put more simply - this weekend is the Postdoc family beach day! Read more details in the email below!)

If you haven't already, please sign up using the Google Form below so we can keep you updated, particularly if there are any weather-related changes. Feel free to drop by for as much or as little of the day as you'd like - we'd love to see you there!

See you on the beach!

Hello postdocs,

The summer is well and truly in full swing, and what better way to celebrate than with a day at the beach?

Join us for a fun-filled PDA Family Beach Day at Carson Beach! Bring your partners, kids, friends, or anyone you'd like to spend the day with, and enjoy some sunshine, sand, and sea with your fellow postdocs. Whether you're keen to swim, play beach games, build sandcastles, or simply relax with good company, we'd love to see you there.

We'll be set up at Carson Beach (look out for the PDA gazebo), which is easily accessible via the Red Line T. We'll have snacks and drinks waiting for you - just remember to bring sunscreen, a towel, and anything else you need for a perfect day by the water 🏖️
