Requirements like the material and also appeal of posters, in addition to the speaker's potential to put the project right into a much larger research circumstance, factored in to the selection of winners.Serving as a judge this year was actually Namya Mellouk, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the Reproductive Developmental The Field Of Biology Group.
