Wrap up the academic year with CUNYSciCom’s annual Communicating Your Science Symposium where students can win prizes for the best science presentations. The annual symposium challenges student scientists to present and explain their research to two different audiences—their peers and the general public—in short, contained presentations that include contextual descriptions of the work, visual aids, and an audience Q&A.
