Judging

Judges have a strict timeline for each poster.  Judges will listen to your presentation and take notes.  (See also one of the blank Judging Form.pdf.)  Judges may interrupt you to ask questions.  They may ask a different team member a question.  The whole team should be part of giving the poster presentation, even if people didn’t contribute equally or fully understand each piece of the work on the poster.  The poster is the only prop you are allowed to use to display and present your results.  Judging will take place from 3-5pm on Wednesday Sept 16.  

Judges include data scientists, statisticians, biostatisticians, mainly from industry.
