Judges still needed
Nearly 200 Laboratory students are presenting their research at this year’s Symposium 2007 August 1-2 at the University of New Mexico, Los Alamos. The theme for this year’s Symposium is Championing Scientific Careers.
Symposium 2007 includes presentations by keynote speakers Nan Sauer and Jake Meadows. Sauer is office director of the Lab Institute’s Office and Meadows of Water Quality and RCRA (ENV-RCRA), is chairman of the Students’ Association.
In addition, Laboratory Director Michael Anastasio will speak to participants Thursday evening (August 2) at the awards banquet.
Laboratory employees are encouraged to attend the poster viewing session Thursday (August 2) morning.
Sauer received her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Idaho. and a doctoral degree in inorganic chemistry from Iowa State University.
Meadows came to the Laboratory as a student intern in 2004 after completing his bachelor’s degree in soil science at Montana State University.
Judges are still needed for the poster presentations and technical talks. “Judges are key to this event as we rely on their expertise to evaluate the participants’ posters and talks,” said Brenda Montoya of the Education and Postdoc Program Office (STB-EPDO). Employees can request community service time to judge this year’s symposium added Montoya.
