Science & Technology Day 2002, held on Tuesday, March 26, brought together nearly 130 outstanding research poster presentations by graduate students from both the Charles River and Medical campuses.
While only ten posters were singled out for awards, the judges remarked on the extraordinarily high quality of all of the research presented, as well as the enormous diversity and range of disciplines represented.
Distinguished presentations received honoraria with matching awards to the recipients' respective laboratories. Browse the all abstracts (available with BU password only)
