[IIGB_All] Celebration of Diversity in Botany Symposium - June 2, 2021

[IIGBadmin]

Hello from the BGSA,
Here is the schedule and speaker list for our Celebration of Diversity in Botany symposium sponsored by Corteva on June 2nd!
This is also a reminder for students to submit abstracts by May 5th midnight. Again, these talks will be 5-10 minutes with only a few slides, and they will be judged by a faculty committee. 1st-3rd place will be getting at least $200 each and all other student talks will receive cash prizes as well. This is also a great opportunity for students to share their work with the plant science community, build their CV, and get public speaking experience! Slots are limited, so please submit lightning talk abstracts to the BGSA email (bpscminigsa at gmail.com<mailto:bpscminigsa at gmail.com>) for evaluation.
