First Friday Lunch with Jason McSheene, PhD Candidate in Molecular Biology

FIRST FRIDAY LUNCH AT THE NASSAU CLUB - APRIL 5th, 2013

Join us for 
First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents.  On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon buffet at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton.  As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton PhD candidate presents his/her work to the group in this informal setting.  Topics vary monthly and are always interesting!


This month, we will be joined by Jason McSheene, a PhD candidate in the Molecular Biology Department. 
  Jason's work focuses on developmental biology.  His research focuses on the mechanisms by which embryos are able to generate the break in left-right symmetry and convert it into biochemical messages that influence heart morphogenesis.

Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues), lunch includes the Nassau Club’s full buffet as well as a complementary beverage (wine, beer, soft drink). Pre-registration is required. 

>> Looking forward to seeing you...in your orange and black! <<

Date: Friday, April 5th, 2013
Time: 12 noon - 2:00 pm
Location: Nassau Club, 6 Mercer St, Princeton, NJ
Nassau Club membership is not necessary to attend this event.
For more information, contact Lydia Zaininger '83 .
