Dear Rutgers–New Brunswick Community:
We are pleased to announce the first Rutgers retreat as part of the Rutgers University Microbiome Program (RUMP). This one-day virtual retreat on May 14 is open to all in the Rutgers community to attend. We have more than 50 oral and poster presentations scheduled as well as at least two extraordinary outside speakers.
We welcome your attendance, but you must register to attend (registration is free). After you register, we will send you the retreat schedule, abstracts, and instructions.
A successful retreat will help us build RUMP across the university.
