PETS 2026 Accepted Posters

We received 24 poster submissions, all of which were accepted for presentation. Three posters were subsequently withdrawn, resulting in a total of 21 posters being presented. The posters did not undergo peer review; instead, they were accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and screened only for relevance to PETS. The poster session took place on Wednesday, July 22, at 17:00 at the TELUS Spark Science Centre.
