Judges needed for student research forum

Judges are sought for the 43rd Annual Midwest Student Biomedical Research Forum (MSBRF), which will be Saturday, Feb. 18.

What: The forum — cosponsored by UNMC and the Creighton University Medical Center — provides an opportunity for students from UNMC, Creighton and the Midwest region to prepare abstracts of their original research and to present their work to faculty and peers in a collegial, low-stress learning environment.

Who: Faculty, post-docs and researchers are invited to participate in the 2012 forum as faculty reviewers.

Why: The forum depends on volunteer faculty support from both UNMC and Creighton to review and critique abstracts prior to the forum and to judge oral and poster presentations the day of the forum.

When: Abstract review takes place in early January. Judges for the oral and the poster presentations will be needed for both the morning and afternoon sessions of the forum on Saturday, Feb. 18.

Where: The forum will be in the Mike and Josie Harper Center for Student Life & Learning at Creighton University, 602 N. 20th St., Omaha.
