HR1981 Cambridge Gathering! (May 3–5, 2024)

It feels like a long time since we were together in Cambridge. Regardless of whether Harvard is “calm rising through change and through storm”, or IS the storm, it’s always great to be with each other.

Some events will have limited capacity, so don’t snooze.
Much gratitude to our generous hosts and organizers!!
