Could use some quality control on these mailers from the local power company. I know it’s San Diego and great weather, but pretty sure this is completely wrong. @SDGE
At the Mike Land Symposium at ICIV. Backaskog, Sweden. Love this conference!
we have 2 open positions in our newly established NeuroEngineering team. These positions could be perfect for grad students who love working on technical projects for lab science, but not so sure about moving on to a postdoc. Please consider this exciting alternative! (1/2)
🔬🧠🐁🐟🧪 Join us at Janelia! 2 awesome new positions, perfect for engineers/scientists who love building tools/methods/rigs/software enabling mind-blowing experiments. You'll work with many labs, great people, amazing place & super-cool instruments! hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…
