Greater New Orleans Area Science and Engineering Fair: Last week of February
As part of the Greater New Orleans Area Science and Engineering Fair, the Tulane Brain Institute is sponsoring a special award for Best Experiment in Neuroscience. We're looking for 4 to 5 volunteers (undergraduates, grad students, post-docs and/or faculty) to judge the neuroscience themed projects for the Greater New Orleans Science Fair. The judging for the special neuroscience award will be done remotely via review of documents in a shared Box drive and a single 1 hour zoom meeting determined based on availability of those that commit.
