MSI held the eleventh annual Research Exhibition on April 28, 2020. Due to the statewide shelter-in-place order and cancellation of all large events at the University of MInnesota due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Research Exhibition was held as a virtual event. Representatives from industry and MSI staff gave presentations about current and emerging technologies, and we held a judged poster session.

Poster Session
Posters by MSI users competed in one of two categories, Life Sciences and Engineering and Physical Sciences and Engineering. They were judged using the following criteria:
- How much did using MSI contribute to the outcome of the research presented?
- How well is the use of MSI and the research communicated on the poster?
- How important is this science?
