"For the first time, Drexel University sponsored the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)'s annual meeting, which brings together experts, leaders and influencers in all areas of science. The 2023 meeting focused on 'Science for Humanity' and featured groundbreaking multi-disciplinary research.

Drexel’s student researchers showcased their impact on the world of science by displaying posters on social sciences, brain and behavioral studies, developmental biology and more. While Drexel faculty and experts discussed research with peers and made new connections with colleagues, Drexel graduate and undergraduate students left a mark on the E-poster competition and took home 17 of the 39 awards, including 10 first place awards and seven honorable mentions."
