Dear Colleagues,

Last week, in a standing-room only auditorium, we welcomed former NIH Director, Dr. Francis Collins, to the Perelman School of Medicine for a fireside chat on a wide-range of topics, including what he believes to be a “remarkable moment in medical and scientific history where it is possible to come up with experiments that are going to be groundbreaking…”  It was a special event, and I’d like to thank everyone who was able to join this conversation. 

The recording of the fireside chat can be found here. While in Philadelphia, Dr. Collins also made a stop at WHYY, and you can listen to his interview with Marty Moss-Coane here.

We are fortunate to have incredible speakers, symposia, and events every day at Penn.  One example is the upcoming ITMAT symposium.  I encourage you to visit our PSOM calendar for more upcoming opportunities – you never know what may spark a new idea or inspire your next collaboration.

All best,

Jon
