Featuring keynote speaker Dr. Ainissa RamirezNew for 2019The Opening Celebration will feature keynote speaker Dr. Ainissa Ramirez. Dr. Ramirez is more than a scien-tist — she is an inventor, an author, a professor, a TED speaker and a self-proclaimed “science evangelist” dedicated to making science fun for people of all ages.

Join Dr. Ramirez to explore the impact of formulat-ing great science stories as a bridge to helping others understand science. She will share how — with the tell-ing of stories — the impact of benefits and challenges of science can be expressed in an accessible way. This new addition to the Annual Meeting program is a must-attend event for 2019!
