Many of the findings from the SPAN Study have been presented at professional meetings at which other research investigators gather to learn about new results. Most of the graduate students and some of the undergraduates who have worked with us over the years have submitted preliminary findings to such meetings and presented their conclusions in the form of research posters. Here is a sample of the posters that have been presented.
