Our Balance and Fall Research Center trainees presented their research at last Friday’s annual UBC Kinesiology Graduate Research Day. This event provided a great opportunity for our graduate students to enhance their presentation skills, receive valuable feedback on their research projects, and network with other students and faculty members from across the UBC School of Kinesiology. 

Congratulations to all BFRC trainees who participated!
