STEM Pathways — a Boston University/MIT outreach program for synthetic biology — will host its spring Dinner & Dialogue at BU on October 11, 4:30-7PM to “bring together teachers and administrators with the region’s STEM outreach programs, universities, industries, and resources for impact discussions and networking.”  The organization seeks input to ensure that high-school graduates have access to synthetic biology programs at Boston University and MIT, and that industry has a workforce that is skilled and technically competent for projected needs. Admission is free, but you must RSVP here by 10PM on October 9.  For more information, email connect@stempathways.org.
