Farewell, 2017
Hi WN@TL Fans,
In the last few minutes of 2017, I’d like to thank all of you for participating in Wednesday Nite @ The Lab and for being an affirmative, appreciate audience to the splendid array of researchers & outreachers who shared their science and insights with us this year.
I’ve copied the full lineup from 2017 below. You can watch all these talks at biotech.wisc.edu/webcams and most of them at the WN@TL Youtube Channel.
I’m looking forward to another great year in 2018.
Hope to see you soon at Wednesday Nite @ The Lab!
Thanks again,
Tom Zinnen
