The Boston IF meetup for April will be Thursday, April 23, 6:30 pm.
We will post the Zoom link to the mailing list on the day of the meeting. Please try to join the meeting on time — we may have to lock out new arrivals after the meeting starts to avoid harassers.
For obvious reasons, we will no longer meet on MIT campus or anywhere else in the Boston area.
Instead, our upcoming meetings will be online via Zoom Video. Anyone interested in IF is welcome, so our meetings will probably be larger than usual! (No dinner afterwards, though. Unless you order takeout.)
Our next meeting is still scheduled for Tuesday, March 31st at 6:30 pm (Eastern time). We’ll post the Zoom link on the day of the meeting.
Update: see Zoom link under “Next meeting” to the right!
