Good morning!
If you haven’t made it over to the RC yet this week, you might be surprised by what you see: The full-color, full-size posters displaying details on this year’s research work are now hanging in the entryway. Stop by to admire these posters and learn about the research of your fellow RC participants.
Come hear Dr. Self-Davis at 10:30, Thursday morning in Ayers Aud.
