NESBO ’25 on Monday, November 10th
About:
NESBO is an annual, one-day event aiming to bring together junior researchers from across the greater New England area to stimulate scientific discussion and promote collaboration within the local Biomedical Optics community. It is a great opportunity to interact with other Graduate students and Postdoctoral researchers in a relaxed atmosphere. We hope to see you there!
