Back in July of 2020, we announced that Richard Loomis had been chosen as the 2020 St. Louis Award winner. Normally we would come together to celebrate the winner’s accomplishments with a dinner and symposium. We all know that the last 12 months have been anything but normal.
To help celebrate Dr. Loomis’ achievement, the Symposium will take place online this month, on April 12. Below is the preliminary schedule and Zoom information. We hope to see everyone there!
