20th Annual
BARC Poster Day 2009

BARC Awards      High School Awards

The Twentieth Annual BARC Poster Day was held on Wednesday, April 15, 2009, at the Log Lodge National Visitor Center.

BARC Poster Day is an opportunity to publicly recognize our newest Research Scientists, Visiting Scientists, and Post-doctoral Research Associates.

The event also provides an excellent opportunity to present their research results to the scientific community and others interested in advances in agricultural research

Students from Area High Schools who conducted research projects under the mentorship of Beltsville Area scientists also participated. FAR-B provided financial support so the students could present their work along with BA post-docs and visiting scientists at BARC Poster Day.
