BREE interns Julyanice Cruz and Pamela Garcia presented the results of their summer 2019 research during the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) Annual Conference that took place from October 31 to November 2, 2019 in Honolulu, Hawaii. This marked the first time that BREE research was presented at a SACNAS meeting, and both posters were highly visited by conference attendees.
When asked about their experience during the conference, the former BREE interns shared the following:
“The SACNAS conference was the most diverse, interactive, and educational conference I have ever been to” –Julyanice Cruz
“SACNAS was such an amazing and life-changing experience. It was my first time presenting a poster at a conference an it was gratifying. Everything, from the different speakers to the Professional Development Sessions, inspired me to continue with my dreams pursuing a STEM career. This conference definitely made me grow not only as a professional but also as a person.” –Pamela Garcia
