JBoard CoLaboratory
Join VAI scientists and educators for a peek into the future of research and science education at the first-ever JBoard CoLaboratory! This nexus of discovery and collaboration is set for Wednesday, July 23, 6–9 p.m., at Gimme’s Par & Grill, 45 Ottawa Ave. NW, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503.
Formerly known as the JBoard Member Mixer, the CoLaboratory is a reinvented opportunity to meet VAI postdoctoral fellows and educators — all sharing a passion for building the same bright future JBoard Ambassadors dream of. You’ll get to hear the latest in science and education initiatives, and we encourage you to bring other passionate professionals who may be interested in JBoard!
A curated selection of food and beverages will be available, along with exclusive access to Gimme’s golf simulator and games. Onsite parking is available through Gimme’s Air Garage, and there are three nearby garages within a block of the location. You may also use ride-sharing services.
Suggested attire for the evening is summer casual.
