Bottom left: two people in discussion in front of a poster board. Bottom right: a large audience seated listening to a presentation.

McMaster Child Health Research Day welcomed 400+ participants, 160+ studies, 8 departments, & a breadth of research from basic science to AI, impacts of Covid, climate change & everything in between. Our research community is prolific & impactful, and it was a pleasure to celebrate & learn together.
