In-Person Poster Session: From 2:00pm to 3:30pm we held an in-person, low pressure poster session in the wide-open expanse of 120 Anderson Library (masks were required). Posters were brief presentations of ongoing or planned COVID-related research projects and/or presentations of COVID-related data resources suitable for population-level research. Our goal was to help connect researchers with each other and with the data they need to conduct their research.
In-Person Research Mixer: From 3:45 to 5:00 we headed outside of 29 Willey Hall--just down the outdoor steps from Anderson Library--to mix and mingle and discuss COVID-related research and how MPC can support your ongoing or planned work.
