Student Research Day at HSDM is an annual event where graduating dental students present their scholarly work and learn about the investigative work of their peers. This year’s event, held on April 9, provided students with the opportunity to showcase their research in poster sessions and interact with faculty, staff, and peers. The day concluded with the Giddon Lecture in the afternoon featuring a presentation by Dean Bruce Donoff on "Immunity to Change vs. the Discomfort of Thought."
