On Monday June 15, 2020, the Environmental Toxicology Graduate Program held its annual student symposium by Zoom videoconference. It was an outstanding event being well organized and showing a lot of creativity during these challenging times. In addition to being a video conference, the format differed this year in a number of other ways. The more senior students presented their research during the Spring quarter during the seminar series. The symposium consisted of a smaller number of oral presentations as well as an online poster session (which I might mention was outstanding with online posters, a prerecorded explanation of the poster by the student and a Zoom link during the poster session where one could speak to the student and ask questions). In addition, there was a raffle, a yoga session just before lunch and a presentation of awards and recognition of recent graduates. The symposium was well attended; I counted 60 people connected during the final award session. Winners of the various awards are shown below.
