Calling all Mimulus researchers and Mimulus-curious! This one-day meeting will be held in the Smith Buonanno Building at Brown University.
The morning will feature four Discussion Sessions aimed at improving tools and resources for the Mimulus community. In the afternoon, we'll hear science updates during two Lightning-Talk sessions. Hope you can join!
There is no registration fee, but, to attend, please sign up here:
