We are thrilled to announce our second FREE summer webinar! Dr. Cary Lindsey from the University of Nevada-Reno will present on how to create a compelling technical poster August 15th at 10:15 am PDT via Zoom. Students will get poster feedback from their first draft on August 13, and final posters are due August 27, so this gives students time to incorporate tips and feedback. She will give a short presentation and then offer more specific help. The webinar is free to attend, but we ask that you register here. Use  this link to join on August 15th.
