SESE Research Review theme, Prehistoric Pursuit
Body

The 2026 SESE Research Review will be held in-person on Monday, February 23rd at the Natural History Building.

Research Review is the festive annual gathering where graduate students, faculty, and research-active undergraduates display their research and socialize. Researchers from throughout SESE present posters/visuals, typically over 70 in total, and a few take the stage to present one of the ever-popular 5-minute “lightning talks.” The photo contest never fails to showcase the incredible photography captured by members of our school. This year's theme is Prehistoric Pursuit!
