Research Symposium
The purpose of the UF/IFAS CREC Research Symposium is to showcase research by our graduate students, postdoctoral research scientists, biological scientists, and visiting scholars. This is an annual event for our community to become acquainted with ongoing research activities across the multitude of specialties represented at the CREC. The symposium also provides an opportunity for developing presentation skills while networking with colleagues across disciplines. The chance to receive constructive feedback from peers and mentors is a fundamental component of this event.
