Hello all,
This one is for the postdocs with kids – if your only baby is your upcoming experiment, this email is not for you!
At the MIT Postdoctoral Association, we’re aware that many postdocs with children aren’t able to access our community building events because of childcare constraints. To remedy this, we want to organise an event which caters to you and your families.
Unfortunately as your two community building chairs are childless idiots, we need a little help in shaping our family-friendly event. We’d love it if you could fill out the questionnaire linked below to tell us a little more about what kind of kid/parent event you’d like to see organised by the PDA. All suggestions welcome: https://forms.gle/qpSMRx87WCWLYESw7
If you have any questions or would be interested in helping organise events like these, drop an email to: pda-community at mit.edu<mailto:pda-community at mit.edu>
……
Also, while I have your attention, I want to shout out a couple of MIT events for parents and kids (not organised by us) which might be of interest to you:
* MIT All ages playgroup, held every Thursday at 10am – 12pm at the Westgate playground. MIT parents and children of all ages are welcome to join.
* Morning coffee chat, sponsored by Graduate Residential Life. Coming up next Wednesday 10th June at 9am. Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfKq46RjEjd5zupzoJepOu9x0dVOGbIISoDZqZuIS7W5c01OA/viewform
Thanks!
Megan
