Student Data Blitz
Our engagement with students at MOPA conferences always provide some of the best and most encouraging moments of the events. This is at the very heart of our Student Data Blitz.
A Data Blitz is a series of 5-minute talks, each covering just a bite-sized bit of research. It will offer a fast-paced overview of some of the most exciting research our future colleagues and peers have been studying in their academic programs. Talks will be given by the abstract author(s).
FORMAT
