2018 All Hands Meeting at MIT Endicott House

January 25, 2018 at 9-7:30 pm

Each student or postdoc working in the center gave a five-minute presentation that was comprehensible to the broader audience.  Once again, we included a “Research Communication Challenge.”  All attendees participated in scoring and provided helpful comments on each presentation.   The talks were judged by three criteria: 1. clarity of motivation & significance, 2. speaking style & delivery, and 3. effectiveness of slides and graphics.  Winners received cash prizes and were announced at the evening reception.
