“Show and tell” is a periodic lecture series, showcasing the insights and ideas of visiting professors and professionals, in bite-size portions. The goal of show and tell, just like the annual Feedforth conference, is to provide an informal forum where we can meet, share work and ideas that are important to us, and hopefully learn something new about an area of research that may be outside our own specialty. All speeches are free and open to the public. Please check in periodically for the next scheduled session. Additionally, we are very interested in knowing who you would like to hear speak. We invite you to send your suggestions for future speakers to feedforth (please, refer to our contact page). Contacts.htmlshapeimage_1_link_0
