13th Annual Research Extravaganza Poster Winners

Poster competition results:

Thanks to all who participated in this year’s Psychiatry Research Extravaganza! It was a great success and a wonderful return in-person scientific dialog. The poster competition results are in. First, a big thank you our anonymous poster judges and also to Alma Penecios in the IT department for helping to ensure abstract submissions run as smoothly as possible.

Each year we have a lot of difficulty coming up with a list of finalists from the submitted abstracts and poster judges routinely express how tough it is to rank presenters. This year was no exception! We have a lot of exciting science happening in the department and the competition was very close. A hearty congratulations to the winners listed below.
