[Mahasweta Sarkar]

Dear Colleagues,
This will be featured in the CIE newsletter but I wanted to make a special
request that you share and attend this event if you can. The line-up that
Virginia and her team in the APIDA Center have put together is amazing and
it would be great to have a similarly amazing turn-out. Thank you!!!
