NWFCS Kick-off Event

We are excited to see members of our local flow cytometry community this week for our very first event, NWFCS Happy Hour! Why we are starting off with this event? It has been many years and a pandemic since there was a NW flow cytometry user’s group meeting and many faces have changed. We wanted to start with a low key social event that gets people reacquainted and welcomes new members. All that is required is to RSVP and to show up!
