We could not be more thrilled! Not only did B.A.R.K. team member Mikaela win best student poster, but our colleague Dr. Helen Lewis (from Swansea, Wales) won best poster too!
The judges scored all poster entries highly & found all merit-worthy. After much deliberation they agreed to Helen Lewis & Mikaela Dahlman were most deserving of this years poster awards. #SCAS2024
