What an incredible day at the Center of Alcohol and Substance Use Studies (CAS) Annual Scholar Poster Session!
From an insightful keynote by Dr. David Lydon‑Staley to a showcase of nearly three dozen research posters, the event provided a dynamic platform for presenting innovative research advancing our understanding of alcohol, drugs, addictions, and recovery.
The poster session fostered interdisciplinary exchange, highlighted emerging science, and supported professional growth across multiple substance use research domains—underscoring the passion and impact of student scholarship across Rutgers and beyond. 🧠📚
