Hello Rice Undergraduate Students,
CRESST II would like to invite you to attend this year’s virtual CRESST II and NASA Undergrad Interaction Day on Friday, October 29th from 12:30 – 4:00 pm ET.
What is the CRESST II and NASA Undergrad Interaction Day?
This event gives undergraduate students a unique look at the research happening at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) presented by GSFC leadership and current NASA scientists and discusses how undergraduate students can collaborate with NASA scientists on these amazing research projects through the NASA/CRESST II summer internship program.
What to Expect.
The first hour of the event will include overview presentations from NASA leadership about the work happening in the GSFC Sciences and Exploration Directorate. The next two hours will be divided into four 30-minute sessions where smaller groups of students will attend presentations led by a pair of NASA scientists. The event will conclude with an 30-minute optional virtual live lab tour where a NASA scientist will demonstrate instruments in a working GSFC lab.
A list of the scientists in each group, their expertise, and presentation topic along with the description of the lab tours can be found in the attached “Scientist and Lab List – CRESST II Undergrad Interaction Day” document.
