Speed Dat(a)ing at Research Day
Speed Dat(a)ing!
Relationships are important? especially when it comes to building collaborations with other researchers. This year at the Department of Psychiatry?s Annual Research Day on June 6th, we are hosting a Speed Dat(a)ing Session that showcases the work of 10 faculty in the early stages of their scientific careers through a series of five-minute presentations. Come join us to learn more about the innovative research that is being conducted by these investigators, and connect with other faculty, trainees and staff that are passionate about scientific discovery!
