The Brown School held its second annual Research Without Walls student symposium April 25 in the hallways of Brown and Goldfarb halls on the Danforth Campus of Washington University in St. Louis. Above, Kate Clitheroe (left), a first-year student in the Master of Public Health program, shares her research project with Edward F. Lawlor, dean and the William E. Gordon Distinguished Professor, and Janny Jones, a student at Brown. Research Without Walls gives students practice in presenting their research to peers, professors and the public in a relaxed, informal setting. This year's guest speaker was Katherine J. Mathews, MD, director of clinical services at Casa de Salud. The dean’s award went to Ryan Bell, a master of public health candidate graduating this month, for his research "A Review of Relief Efforts After Superstorm Sandy." Award-winning posters were displayed in the Goldfarb Commons. Awards were given for outstanding posters depicting internationally, nationally, regionally and locally focused research projects. In addition, outstanding displays of quantitative and qualitative information also were recognized.
