"Science Pitch" student talks
We invite undergraduate and graduate students to register for the "Science Pitch" talk competition that will take place on Wednesday afternoon!
Presenters will have 3 minutes and only 1 prop: a slide, an item, etc, to deliver a talk on a research-related subject of their choice. The best talk(s) will be determined by a selection of judges as well as a popular vote. Prizes for the Judges' Choice Award and the People's Choice Award will be awarded directly after the coffee break following the talks.
Please register at the link below if you would like to be considered for a talk!
