The ASPET student and postdoc poster competition was held on Sunday 23rd from 6:30 to 8:30 in room W375d of the McCormick convention center. This event had dozens of some of ASPET’s brightest young minds presenting their research in hopes for winning an award. Check back for more on the winners later, after the meeting. Immediately after the poster competition, the ASPET student and post doc mixer, which was open to all undergraduates, graduate students and postdocs, was held in the Skyline ballroom pre-function area. This was a great event for all to socialize, have fun, and unwind after a very long and busy day. Complimentary drink tickets were provided to ASPET members who attended and were over 21 with valid ID. There was also a DJ, an assortment of great snacks, awesome dancing, and back by popular demand, the YSC sponsored photo booth! Attendees were able to both print out their pictures as well as download them onto their phones! Thanks to everyone who showed up to make it such a great success!
