Most activities occur during our annual meetings and include: New Attendee Orientation, Etter Award Symposium, Mentoring Dinner, Social Mixer and the Professional Odyssey (career panel). More details can be found on the website: http://www.amercrystalassn.org/2011-ys-insiders-guide.100100.content The primary objective of YSSIG is to offer useful career-related resources for young scientists at every stage of their training.
