MISSOURI ACADEMY of SCIENCE (MAS) calls for papers

The MAS website is now live for registration and abstract submission for the 2019 MAS annual meeting on April 12-13, 2019 at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri. The Senior Division portion of the meeting for college level research and above presentations will be on Saturday, April 13. The hard deadline for registration of both posters and oral presentations is March 20, 2019. Details for the meeting along with registration and abstract submission can be found at https://www.moacademysci.org/register/senior-division/  The program is open to undergraduate and graduate students along with faculty and other professionals from across the state. If you are a faculty member, I encourage you to have any interested undergraduate student give a research presentation (oral or poster) as this is a great opportunity for them to gain valuable experience in a supportive and encouraging environment.
