104 Soil Biology and Biochemistry Student Poster Competition

Poster Session
S03 Soil Biology & Biochemistry

Each year, Div. S-3 sponsors a Graduate Student Poster Competition. The awards are cash prizes of $300, $200, and $100 given for first, second and third place winners. Posters are judged based on the quality of presentation, originality and importance, and interpretation of experimental results. Competition winners are announced at the Francis Clark lectures.

Monday, November 1, 2010: 2:00 PM-4:00 PM
