Soka University is hosting the 2020 American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) Regional Meeting, Teaching Tomorrow’s Scientists, on May 30. Teaching-intensive life scientists will gather for the day-long conference to network, participate in workshops, and present in a poster session. Plenaries will be delivered by Sara Brownell of Arizona State University and Rachel Kennison of UCLA. 

Submissions of abstracts for the afternoon workshop and poster sessions are now open. There is no submission fee, but they must be entered before the deadlines: March 4 (workshop session) and April 20 (poster session).
