This July, our lab had the opportunity to attend the annual Poultry Science Association (PSA) meeting held in the vibrant city of Philadelphia. The conference was a platform for academic and professional growth and an enjoyable experience for our team members.
Showcasing Our Lab’s Research
The meeting was a significant moment for our lab as we had the opportunity to present our latest research findings. Mridula Gupta, Cara Cash, Mollie Cobb, Kamaryn Beamsley, Elizabeth Holda, and Travis Williams represented our lab with presentations that covered a broad spectrum of topics. The presentations were well-received, contributing to the scientific dialogue at the conference and highlighting the diverse research areas our lab is engaged in.
Networking and Learning Opportunities
Apart from our presentations, the PSA meeting offered numerous networking opportunities, learning from peers, and engaging with the latest developments in the field. The exchange of ideas and feedback was invaluable, fostering a sense of community among researchers from around the world.
Exploring the Historic City of Philadelphia
The conference’s location in Philadelphia provided a unique backdrop for our team to explore the city’s historical landmarks in our downtime. Visits to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the Ben Franklin Museum and Press offered glimpses into the sites important in our national history. These excursions were educational and a fun way to experience the city’s culture and history, making our trip even more memorable.
Reflecting on a Successful Conference
The annual PSA meeting in Philadelphia blended academic preparation, professional development, and cultural exploration. Our lab’s participation underscored our commitment to advancing science and fostering collaboration within the research community.
