The UAMS Research Expo on Aug. 25 drew 184 registrants for the virtual event with 25 research service providers presenting via Zoom.
Sponsored by the UAMS Translational Research Institute (TRI), the event included overviews of up to five minutes from representatives of the research services. Attendees were able to drop into the event to hear scheduled presentations and ask questions via the written comments feature in Zoom. UAMS T-shirts were given away as door prizes, and Yuet-Kin “Ricky” Leung, Ph.D., won the Grand Door Prize, a manuscript submission fee to be paid by TRI.
Attendees expressed their appreciation anonymously in TRI’s feedback survey. “The brief presentations provided a snapshot of many of the resources available at UAMS, several of which I learned about for the first time,” one attendee said.
