April 16, 2021 - Update on Best Research Poster Winners
On Friday, April 9, EEB project course students participated in the 2021 EEB Undergraduate Research Fair virtually over Zoom. The annual fair gives students a chance to present their research projects to their peers and the larger EEB U of T community.
The past year has been challenging for everyone, with the COVID-19 pandemic forcing changes in all our lives. The resiliency, professionalism and dedication of our students is absolutely astounding, matched only by their knowledge and enthusiasm for the diverse and interesting research they took part in over the course of the year.
Please give special compliments to the winners of the Corey A. Goldman Prize for Best Research Posters in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. The award is named after former Associate Undergraduate Chair Corey A. Goldman who devoted many years to developing the robust, interactive and engaging undergraduate program at EEB.
