HealthHum meetings in Spring 2024 are in Lindquist 301 on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month.  Teams link is available. 


The second annual Healthcare Research Roundtable will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 22. This year we're reaching out to the University of Kansas and WSU Tech as well as the community and industry partners, and we're extending the scope to include clinical work, the arts, humanities, applied studies and all the health-related work done. This is a great opportunity for discovery, coalition-building and strategic planning. RSVP to help event organizers prepare and to volunteer to give a flash presentation (roughly five minutes) about your work.
