Winners Announced for Student Research Showcase
More than 100 research presentations were entered in Sigma Xi's 2014 Student Research Showcase. These presentations from high school, undergraduate, and graduate students were judged online March 17-23. Winners have been named by field of research. Additionally, the top presentations in the high school, undergraduate, and graduate divisions win $200 each. A tie exists this year for top place in the high school division so the award will be split. All participants receive a commemorative certificate and feedback from judges. See the list of winners and all of the research presentations on the Student Research Showcase page.
Thank you to nearly 300 Sigma Xi members who volunteered to be judges!
