The 2024 Spring Research Day, hosted by CATSS, took place on Thursday, April 18th at Walter Library. This year's event featured two keynote speakers, Dr. Rachel Hawe, CATSS PI and Assistant Professor of Kinesiology here at the University of Minnesota, and Dr. David Brang, Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan. We had 60 attendees from 10 different university departments.

Between talks we hosted a poster session during which undergraduate students, graduate students, medical school students, postdocs and staff presented their research to conference attendees.
