2nd CCR Retreat
May 9, 2022
UW Intellectual House
The retreat was a true success! We had a total of 50 participants, a plenary lecture and 6 presentations by UW and WSU faculty, as well as cutting-edge research presented as posters by post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates. A lot of ideas were exchanged and contacts for collaborations.
Thank you Washington State Representative Kloba for participating to the event.
We also thank our guests from the Liquor and Cannabis Board, Washington State University and University of California Irvine for their insightful comments and contribution to the excellent interaction with all attendees.
