This past Wednesday, April 24th, CLA’s Neuroscience department held its 2024 Annual Research Day at the Howard Gittis Student Center. The event featured poster presentations from undergrad students who conducted independent research or completed Distinction projects, as well as graduating Master’s students discussing their final projects. The celebration concluded with judges awarding 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes to posters in undergrad and Master’s categories. See the winners below.

Senior Thais Arruda’s poster, Exploring Social Impairment in those with Opiod Use Disorder, was awarded 1st place in the undergrad poster competition. She had this to say about her experience:

The Neuroscience Research Day was a great opportunity to connect with other people in the department who are interested in research. Not only did I get to talk about the work that I am doing, but I also got to learn about all the incredible projects that are being done in a variety of aspects of neuroscience and psychology—it is amazing all the work that we as students are conducting. My favorite part was being able to exchange of ideas and get valuable feedback from my peers and faculty members.

CLA congratulates all the presenters for their hard work! Check out a photo gallery from the event.
