Join us for one of the upcoming Spring 2023 CAN Research Center events. This semester's events include science talks, the SCAND Research Symposium, a visiting scientist seminar series, and more!
Sips & Science: Quantifying Behavior
In an "open mic" framework, we invite researchers to share their thoughts on how their team quantifies behaviors (animal or human) in unique ways. Talks start at 3:00pm, social to follow!
Disability Advocacy Day
Hosted by the South Carolina Partnership of Disability Organization (SCPDO), Disability Advocacy Day aims to educate our governor and legislators about the lives, challenges, and needs of individuals with disabilities and their families.
Join us at the North Grounds of the SC State House to participate in a walk, rally, listen to speeches from community partners and self-advocates, and more.
