Another successful GPMB Student Research Colloquium is in the books! The 22nd Annual GPMB Student Research Colloquium was held on October 13, 2018.
GPMB second-year students gave poster presentations on their research projects and the third-year students gave oral presentations. Student presentations were followed by keynote speaker Dr. Sandra Brooke, Associate Research Faculty at Coastal and Marine Laboratory, Florida State University.
The colloquium continues the tradition as an opportunity for students to present their research in a professional setting while showcasing the research activities of the community and cultivating conversations among students and faculty.
The full program, including presentation abstracts can be viewed here
We would like to thank Dr. Sandra Brooke for being our Keynote Speaker!
