Texas Student Research Showdown
This fall, the UT Office of Undergraduate Research will once again host the Texas Student Research Showdown, a research communication competition. Student researchers from all disciplines will make videos and give short presentations explaining their work to a general audience, with judges awarding up to $1,500 in scholarships to recognize excellence in research communication.
If you have conducted research and would be interested in sharing it with a broad audience, please consider making a submission. Aside from the potential awards and the experience presenting their work, student submitters will have a 2-minute video to show for their efforts — an ideal way to explain their work to friends, family, grad schools, and future employers. You can learn more about the event (and see past examples of student work) at https://ugs.utexas.edu/our/showdown. I’ll be sending out more info when the form for submissions opens in September.
