Final date for submitting Lay Abstracts from SNR Theses and Dissertations for competition. Please forward these to Robert Zink at rzink2@unl.edu
At the end of Fall 2023 semester (December 9, 2023), we will appoint a committee of three faculty who do not have a student in the competition, and they will declare a “Best Lay Abstract”. The winner will receive $500.
Guidelines

Keep it around 300-700 words. Do not use jargon that your friends outside your field would not use. Begin with a sentence that will grab your reader, and end by looping back to your beginning statement. Make it understandable to a middle school student, and emphasize what you did, how you did it, and why someone should care about your results.
