Registration is open for the Center for Produce Safety’s Research Symposium weekly web seminars, a five-part series in place of the annual meeting that was cancelled by COVID-19 restrictions.

The free web seminars will start June 23 and continue for the following four Tuesdays, from 10-11:30 a.m. Pacific, according to a news release.

Registration is online for the CPS Research Symposium.

“Due to the generosity of our sponsors, registration for the symposium series will be complimentary,” according to a news release. “If you have already registered to attend in person, your fees have been refunded and you are automatically registered for the entire webinar series.”

The Center for Produce Safety plans to release a schedule in late April, with details on the symposium’s webpage.

The event was originally scheduled for June 23-24 in La Jolla, Calif.
