We were excited to see this year’s crop of summer students present the fruits of their research at the 2026 Summer undergraduate poster session.
Students summarized a summer of intensive experiments in their posters and answered probing questions from attendees at the session. It was an impressive showing from all our presenters.
Three presenters stood out as exceptional to earn the F Michael Barrett award: Andres Lopez Avelar (Tropepe lab), Chad Dumé (Peever lab) and Alex Huang (Plotnikov lab).
Thank you to all supervisors and judges for your dedication to the students and their research. Thank you to Prof. Keiko Yoshioka for hosting the awards ceremony. A special thanks to Genna Zunde for all of her hard work in organizing this event.
Congratulations to these outstanding researchers!
