Since the LACPA Convention is virtual this year, we decided to change up how we handle poster presentations.  Instead of creating a traditional poster, we asked accepted presenters to create a brief Powerpoint presentation instead.  We hope this will allow our poster session presenters to more clearly communicate their work by using a format that is easier to view on a computer than a large format poster would be.  Congratulations to our accepted poster session presenters below!
Thanks,
Ryan G. Witherspoon, Ph.D.
