Presentations
At the SRS, you will have 10 to 15 minutes to discuss your research with a scientist reviewer, with time during or after for questions. You will get the chance to talk to two or more reviewers, as well as time to discuss your research with your peers. And remember: you are the expert on your research. The scientists and other students are interested in learning from you.
