Science2009 Recap
The University of Pittsburgh’s Science2009 event took place on Thursday and Friday of last week. Despite inclement weather, the event was a success. The FundScience booth attracted approximately 50 visitors over the two days. These visitors included graduate students, postdocs and faculty members, all of whom shared very good ideas for funding implementation, the direction of the organization, the website/blog, and other issues. Of note, Dr. Victor Ambrose of the University of Massachusetts, Science2009 Plenary Speaker and winner of the Dickson Prize in Medicine, stopped by and had some very insightful and inspiring comments for us.
Dr. Victor Ambrose meets with FundScience cofounders David Vitrant and Mark Friedgan.
We appreciate the time all of our visitors took to share their ideas for FundScience development and their excitement for our cause! The University of Pittsburgh hosts these events annually, so we look forward to an even greater turnout for Science2010!
