[Mdabs] Fwd: [Mdpobc] Accessible Science

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hey MDABS Friends:

We all know that science can be a struggle, so I would encourage anyone who is taking or will take a science class to join this webinar. Dr. Supalo is a wealth of knowledge on this subject and is always glad to help students. See below for all the info.

Best of luck on finals and the last-minute push of the semester. Let's finish strong!
