It's time once again for our annual Fellows Symposium on May 3, your chance to network with campus researchers and hear from an exciting lineup of IGB speakers. As always we're holding an open poster session with prizes awarded for the top three choices. Lunch is provided, register for free at https://fellows.igb.illinois.edu/.

In addition to our plenary talks, we'll have two excellent keynotes from Claire Fraser, Director of the Institute for Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and Benjamin Garcia, Presidential Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.
