Dress code Academy event[edit]
The dress code for the Academy event is a mix between "business casual" and "informal attire" (please wear with whatever you feel comfortable, I wouldn't recommend jeans and a polo shirt, though)

black shoes
- Women: (optional suit) or skirt or trousers, blouse, (optional
matching jacket), closed toe shoes
Getting to the NIH headquarters on Thursday morning[edit]
The NIH will organize a van for us all. We'll leave our hotel at 7:50 am (meeting in the lobby at 7:40 am)

Please check your flight plans and make sure you'll leave the hotel early enough. We'll reimburse you for the cab/public transportation.
