Reviews

What Participants Say

In their own words — from workshops, booths and the Olympiad floor.

★★★★★

The Meta-Analysis Marathon was the first time a workshop actually made me finish a protocol. Twelve hours, one dataset, and a pooled estimate by the end of it.

I came to the awareness booth with a vague idea and left with a mentor and a timeline. Three months later we submitted our first abstract.

The quality of the poster session surprised me. Undergraduates defending their methods with confidence — that is exactly what the forum was built for.
