2020 Biennial Meeting
The SRA 2020 Biennial Meeting was scheduled to be held on March 19-21, 2020 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in San Diego, California. Unfortunately, the 2020 Biennial Meeting was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. SRA did not want the hard work of 2020 to be dismissed, so the program was rescheduled in 2021 in a virtual format.
The 2020 Biennial Meeting program was themed "From Genome to Globe", and program co-chairs, Rachel Gordon, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Paige Harden, University of Texas at Austin, built on concepts that dug into key questions of our time, including youth's engagement in voting and in political movements and in how adolescents navigate in a global society. The program showcased new insights about human genetics and neurobiology across the life course and grappled with how new forms of big data in biology can illuminate the processes of development.
