Get ready. This is going to be an important thread. Election season will be over soon and hopefully more people will devote some attention to this... I'm going to walk through a timeline of SARS2-related virus data published in the months after the outbreak. (1/30)

This is a nice informal meeting to tell us what you want Communicating Science @ MIT to be doing this fall semester. Are there particular science communication skills that you'd like to learn? Do you have a germ of an idea for any sci. comm. event? We'd love to make it happen!
