Who can register to present at the symposium?

Any undergraduate student who is majoring in Course 20 or working in a BE department lab.

What kind of posters can be presented at the symposium?

1. UROP or internship work:
   • Nicely wrapped up and impactful (or still in progress!) research
   • This work is very welcome and will be propelled forward by interactions with an astute and supportive audience.

2.  Research design projects:
   • Do you have an interesting biological engineering project from a class or a theoretical research project that you want to develop?
   • Create these projects over the semester and present them at the symposium! (Note: these projects must be approved by the organizers)

3.  Academic extracurriculars:
   • Do you have a club, activity, or outreach initiative that you want to advertise to your undergraduate peers? 
   • This year we are creating a section that focuses on research-adjacent activities. (Note that organizers will review these posters’ contents for approval.)
