Updated March 9, 2020: In light of new University-wide guidance issued on March 6 that strongly discourages any non-essential meetings of 100 people or more, we have decided to cancel this event. We look forward to welcoming you at another Salon event in the future.

A monthly conversation about medicine, biology, computers, entrepreneurship, and pizza. Hosted by Harvard OTD and the HMS Dept. of Biomedical Informatics.

Stay in touch! To join the mailing list (to receive invitations to future events), sign up here.
