NPAW & Annual Trainee Research Symposium ...................................... pgs. 5

Faculty mentors were invited to join postdocs at the Annual Postdoc Appreciation BBQ Lunch. Professor Peter Adams enjoyed lunch with postdocs within and outside his lab. (Pictured above) Faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and laboratory staff gathered on main campus between Buildings 6 & 7 for a Poster Session. Trainees were selected based on their abstract submissions to present posters. Poster judges evaluated trainees based on their posters and their presentations. (Pictured below)

A new element added to this year’s Annual Trainee Research Symposium was a Science Art Competition. Marie Berenguer, Ph.D. (postdoc in the Duester lab) won first place with her submission “Making wishes to the genie of developmental biology.” (Pictured left)
