SACNAS

16 people from Ohio State University stand in front of a green SACNAS display, with a red cartoon dear and SACNAS logo in front of them.

Had a great time at the @sacnas.bsky.social conference last week! Many Ohio State folks (see pic, including @astrojennifer.bsky.social, @denisemondragon.bsky.social, and me) attended despite restrictions. Congrats to @denisemondragon.bsky.social on winning best grad poster presentation!

Thank you @sacnas.bsky.social for granting us the space for our professional development workshop! #NDiSTEM2025 #latinxdb

We connected with so many amazing people in the #SACNAS community!
