posted on March 6: Graduate Students Recognition Day celebrates success

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/Gradposterfinal.jpg” caption=”Heather Beresh”]More than 20 posters detailing the research efforts of McMaster graduate students are on display today (March 6) in Convocation Hall.

The exhibit is part of Graduate Students Recognition Day, an annual event created to highlight and celebrate the contributions of graduate students to innovation and excellence in research and their role in helping the University achieve its academic mission.

Master's student Heather Beresh (photo right) exhibited two posters that convey the research she's been doing in the area of neurosciences.

Beresh's posters were on display at the Society for Neuroscience conference in San Diego last fall and garnered a significant amount of media attention.

She is working with professor Sandra Witelson, who holds the Albert Einstein/Irving Zucker Chair of Neurosciences, in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioural Neurosciences.

The Best Poster Award is one of several that will be given out tonight during the awards ceremony to be held in Convocation Hall.
