Brooklyn College will be hosting its annual Science Research Day on Friday, May 14, 2010. Science students at all levels — graduate, undergraduate, and high school — will compete. The competition consists of a poster presentation that is much like NYCSEF with around 100 total participants. All seniors — especially those who worked at Brooklyn College — should consider entering. Juniors may also enter if their project is far enough along. All that you need to prepare for the competition is a poster. Extra credit will of course be awarded. Registration must be completed by Friday, April 30, 2010. There is no website for this competition, so contact me if you have any questions.

NYU has invited us to observe their Undergraduate Research Conference on Friday, April 16. The plan is to meet in the research room at 9:15 and take the subway to NYU. The conference consists of a poster competition and PowerPoint presentations. Midwood students are expected to interview the NYU presenters in a manner similar to what we did at NYCSEF. You should also ask the NYU students questions about NYU, college life, and the college admission process in general. Lunch will be provided and we may also get a chance to visit one of the science labs. Space is limited to those students who complete their paperwork in a timely fashion. See me for the permission slips.
