PAC was formed in 2004 to serve the needs of those holding postdoctoral positions at CU-Boulder or in the national labs collaborating on campus research projects. The association organizes professional development and social events for postdocs, including three workshops this fall. The first, "From Lab to Entrepreneurship: CU Resources, Tech Transfer and the InDevRCase Study," is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 16.
