[Students-l] ASIS&T Featuring Doctoral Student Research (Submission Deadline: July 1, 2016)

[Iris Xie]

Are you a doctoral student in the writing stage or close to defending? We
would like to showcase your research!

ASIS&T invites you to submit a short video (5 mins or less) that introduces
the world to the exciting and engaging research you are doing. We are
extending an invitation to those doctoral students who have: a) completed
their coursework, qualifying examinations (or equivalent) and defended their
proposals, and b) are in the process of analyzing/writing, or ready to
defend their dissertations.

In addition to the great visibility that your research receives, the best 20
submissions  will win a free one-year ASIS&T membership (or free renewal).

All vetted submissions will be featured on the ASIS&T website .

with your advisor(s) when preparing for the video. And remember to practice,
practice, practice.
