The two-day event, hosted by DBBS and the Office of Post Graduate Affairs, brought 19 prospective postdoctoral research scholars to Washington University for a recruiting visit. A grant from the university’s Coordinating Council for Diversity Initiatives funded the event, which included lectures from faculty, informal discussions and a poster session.
