Trivia Night – All Ages Welcome – Hosted by the NYSCF JLC
How do your trivia skills measure up? Join the NYSCF Junior Leadership Council (JLC) for an interactive night of trivia to fundraise for The NYSCF Research Institute. Show off your general trivia knowledge while learning about the newest breakthroughs in stem cell research from a NYSCF scientist, who will join your team and help lead you to victory.
What’s at stake?
The winning team will get a virtual tour of the NYSCF Laboratories and a personal Zoom meeting with NYSCF board member and founder of biotech company Moderna, Derrick Rossi, PhD!
