Greetings from the UC Davis Optics Club! Please see below for our newsletter, May 2020 Issue. We know it might be hard to have some events at this time, so most part of this newsletter is focusing on some resources that are available online, like virtual training, conference, webinar, etc. Also, please let us know if you have some more info to share, as this newsletter can be updated continuously. Enjoy and take care!
