<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">This is a <b>reminder for students to submit abstracts by Wednesday, May 5th midnight </b>for ou<b>r </b>Celebration of Diversity in Botany symposium sponsored by Corteva on <b>June
2nd.</b> Again, these talks will be 5-10 minutes with only a few slides, and they will be judged by a faculty committee. <b>1st-3rd place will be getting at least $200 each and all other student talks will receive cash prizes as well.</b> 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 (<a href="mailto:bpscminigsa@gmail.com" target="_blank">bpscminigsa@gmail.com</a>)
for evaluation. <o:p></o:p></p>
