ELARA Lab hosted its first research study recruitment table, opening a new way for students and professionals to get to know its work. Chorong Park shared the milestone on April 14, 2026, and thanked the team who made it happen. [1]

Park described the activity as a chance to build relationships around technology and aging. The emphasis was on meeting people and growing a research community, with companion robots and study materials helping introduce the work. [1]

For a growing lab, a recruitment table is also a point of contact: an opportunity to start a conversation, not just distribute information. That relationship-building was the part Park highlighted most in her update. [1]
