PINC Summer Program 2020
Student-Designed Sticker for PSP 2020
Overall, the 2020 PINC Summer Program was a success! Unlike previous years, the 2020 PSP was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Zoom meetings, participants were able to learn R programming and implement their coding skills into a group research project. These projects were presented at the virtual Summer Research Symposium.
