DPB's Summer 2019 Intern Program was a smashing success! On Friday 8/9 all the interns gathered together to talk about their hard work and projects for the summer. They showed off their detailed results with their beautiful posters and proudly stood by as faculty, post docs, and family came to learn. We followed it with an outdoor bbq and our own in-house Carnegie band. Many thanks to all who made this event happen!
