The 12th annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) is September 20 – 24, 2021 with NPA volunteers and steering committee members planning three national events around the theme, “I am a Postdoc.” This effort is intended to give definition to the role of the postdoc “at the bench and beyond,” uniting postdocs and recognizing their successes.
