Add #CienciaBoricua events to your personal calendar at SACNAS! From October 27th to the 29th the Puerto Rico Convention Center will be filled with the flavor, knowledge, and strength of Puertorican science. Several members of our CienciaPR team and community will speak at panels, present posters, and facilitate professional development workshops. We’ve made it easy for you not to miss a beat! Take a look at our #CienciaBoricua at SACNAS Calendar and follow us on Twitter with the #CienciaBoricua #2022NDiSTEM hashtags.

There will also be essential mentoring sessions led by team members and collaborators at our booth, located at the entrance of the Exhibit Hall.

The first four people to arrive at each mentoring session will receive beautiful posters from our Aqui Nos Cuidamos collection.
