If you’re an undergraduate student, plan on attending this social and sci- entific mixer! Come meet other undergraduates and learn about their research projects. For undergraduate students who will be presenting during the standard scientific sessions, the mixer provides an opportu- nity to hone presentation skills before the general poster session begin. Undergraduates listed as co-authors on posters are welcome to practice their poster presentation skills in a less formal setting, even if not listed as the presenting author. Additionally, undergrads presenting as first or second author on a poster may participate in the Undergraduate Poster Award Competition and be recognized for their work. Three students will be selected for a $100 award and recognized by the BPS meeting attendees prior to the 2018 BPS Lecture. Winners will be selected based on the quality and scientific merit of their research, knowledge of the research problem, contribution to the project, and overall presentation of the poster. Pre-registration required to participate in the competition. No on-site regisration. Informal Networking and Q&A with NPR Science Team 4:30 pm–5:30 pm, North, Lower Lobby, Room 20/21 Stop by to get your questions answered about careers, science communication, Friends of Joe’s Big Ideas, and other related topics on your mind.
