We are excited to announce that the 14th Annual Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) Research Poster Day will be on Thursday May 23 from 11-2:45 p.m. at Abramson Research Center.
The goal of the day is to highlight research on developmental disabilities, chronic illness, and prevention by LEND fellows, other fellows at CHOP, and staff and faculty. Last year we had over 30 posters (over 20 by staff and faculty), and we hope to have another great turnout this year.
Staff, faculty, and trainees, please consider submitting a poster for this day (poster presentations are from noon-1 p.m.) The abstract deadline is Friday May 10.
Also, please join us for two exciting symposiums: (1) morning symposium related to LEND fellow’s Autism projects from 11 a.m.-noon, and (2) afternoon interdisciplinary symposium from 1:15-2:45 p.m.. CE credits will be provided for attendance.
