We’re excited to celebrate the accomplishments of our graduate students who presented their research posters at this weekend’s annual LaBAA Conference!

Throughout the year, each student worked diligently to strengthen their research skills by selecting a research topic, identifying relevant literature, and replicating studies to further their understanding of the research process.

Congratulations to each of you on this achievement! 🎉👏
