To ensure the safety of the PI Community and all individuals coming to the institute, the following protocols must be observed when attending a conference or workshop. Please note that residents and visitors are required to be fully vaccinated. * PI is operating under the assumption that everyone entering PI, and who is eligible, is vaccinated. Though masking is not mandatory, please be mindful of your colleagues’ preferences in meetings; if even one person prefers mask-wearing in a group setting, please respect their wishes and wear one.
Hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes are available in all high traffic areas. Furthermore, more frequent cleaning and disinfecting measures for interaction/meeting areas have been implemented throughout the institute.
