The PCC Graduate Steering Committee (P-GraSC) is hosting a happy hour with food and drink provided every Third Thursday. We believe building community among scientists and academics is more important now than ever, and we are doing this in an effort to foster
more connections across the climate space here at UW. We aim to create these connections by giving folks from different disciplines a place to come together to chat, eat pizza, and look at cool plants. </div>
