Poster Presentations
Each semester, our undergraduate research assistants make a poster for their final project. The poster represents the research they worked on during the semester. During an informal presentation session, they must explain the data and their results to Dr. Smith and other participants who view their poster.

Commencement Ceremony
May, 2010
Natsuki Atagi, an Honors Student in Dr. Smith's lab and graduating senior, was chosen to address IU graduates at Bloomington's first-ever undergraduate commencement ceremonies with student speakers. Natsuki drew inspiration for her speech from French philosopher Michel Foucault. She emphasized to fellow 2010 IU graduates that it's okay not to know what comes next.

Recruitment Events
We often have a recruitment table at family community events in order to recruit new subjects. We wear our 'Child Scientist' t-shirts and explain to parents how they can help early child development research by participating in studies.



Visit us at the annual Children's Health Expo, the Baby Fair, Celebration of Families and all summer at the Farmer's Market.
