From our Mission Statement: “The structure, meetings, and special events are all designed to enable members through active participation to build and hone all the skills necessary to not only be accomplished scientists, but to also turn that into a successful, chosen career.”
The PIs, students, and postdocs listed here contributed to the growth and success of the “Community of Minds” of The Pub Club, which operated from the Fall of 2014 through the summer of 2017. The purpose of this page is to recognize and document those who worked to achieve The Pub Club (TPC) mission through “active participation.” At a minimum this was shown through attendance and contribution in our Friday gatherings. Others took greater advantage of the opportunities TPC provided to expand their “skills” and abilities through organizational, leadership, supportive, or “Post” authorship rolls. Through these active efforts, those individuals became better positioned to present themselves and their work to the world. Notations are made beside each of these individual’s names.
