Go Biohazards!!
Do you like to have fun? Do you enjoy being outside? Do you like beer and snacks? Then the Biohazards need YOU!
Spring has sprung and it’s time to play softball! The Biohazards are currently in a rebuilding year and we need as many new players as possible. Regardless of skill level, we want you to play! Many of the current players are graduate students, but ALL are welcome (students, faculty, postdocs, staff, significant others, friends, etc.). Also, if you know anyone who might be interested in playing please refer them to me.
Thanks,
