[Nano-bme] NANO-BME Weekly Update

Mon May 16 10:24:17 MDT 2022

Good Morning, All!

I hope everyone’s summer is off to a great start! I’m excited for all of the sunshine and warmth from this past weekend as well as the fact that I will be gone next week for a road trip down to my hometown in Texas. I will likely not send out a NANO-BME Weekly Update next week because I’ll be traveling, but you can expect something on a Tuesday or Wednesday the following week. So, if you need anything, be sure to ask me this week! Otherwise, I’ll catch you in June. 😊

There are lots of things happening this week and beyond. Check them out below!
