151 Soil Biology and Biochemistry-Graduate Student Poster Competition

Poster Session

SSSA Division: Soil Biology & Biochemistry

This is a Graduate Student Poster Competition within the Soil Biology and Biochemistry Division. The awards are cash prizes of $500, $300, and $200 given for first, second, and third place winners. Posters are judged based on the quality of presentation, originality and importance, and interpretation of experimental results. Competition winners are announced at the Business Meeting following the Francis E. Clark Distinguished Lectureship on Soil Biology. Thanks to MO BIO Laboratories for sponsoring the awards this year.
