Do the dog days have you feeling down? Wish you were working on your tan at the beach, or backpacking through Europe with friends? As members of one big Pharm-ily, we often like to share advice with each other, but were really encouraging you to heed our words this time: take a vacation!
Why, you ask?
Because once September starts, its full speed ahead for the Pharma community. The Pixels & Pills tour bus okay, we dont really have a tour bus is gearing up for an East Coast event extravaganza this fall, and were psyched to meet up (or tweet up, as it were) with some of our favorite faces of Pharma!
But if youre still stuck behind the desk this August, take advantage of the downtime to join us for the ride and put together your fall event schedule. Heres a lineup of where well be in the coming months:
