Women in Science Research Conference of the Office for Women’s Affairs

Friday March 4th, 2011

9:00 am – 2:30 pm
Indiana Memorial Union, Alumni Hall

Present a poster about your research at the 13th annual Women in Science Research Conference, network with other women researchers and compete for research awards. Cash prizes will be awarded for the best undergraduate and graduate poster presentations in each of the following categories: Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Mathematics & Technology. First place winners will receive $100, second place winners will receive $75. This is a fantastic opportunity for community building and professional development in a familiar setting, which will enhance your graduate school or employment opportunities. If this is your first time assembling a research poster, the Office for Women’s Affairs (OWA) will hold an optional ‘how to make a poster & give a poster presentation’ workshop.

We hope to see a variety of types of research posters, including those that present:

• Research you are doing in a lab on campus
• Key findings from a research paper you wrote for a class
• Conclusions you have drawn based on a literature review
• A draft of your dissertation proposal
• Your plan for an upcoming research project, or results from a past research project

*Even if your research is not ‘finished’ present what you have so far! Team presentations are welcome!*

The research conference is open to all undergraduate and graduate women at IU studying Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Mathematics or Technology. To participate, please return the registration form to the Women in Science Program by Friday, February 11, 2011. There is no fee for presenting at the conference.
