Princeton Research Day

Princeton Research Day is celebrating its 10th anniversary on May 8, with early-career researchers presenting their work in three-minute videos for a chance to win cash prizes. The event is free and open to the public, featuring a showcase, reception and awards ceremony. Participants produce accessible videos that showcase the breadth of research projects at Princeton, from the Lewis Center for the Arts to the School of Architecture to the Department of Molecular Biology. Entries last year included videos on stealthy hyperuniform metamaterials, the history of the Mpala Research Centre in Kenya and how estrogen protects the brain. Research Day is at Frist Campus Center on the Princeton University campus and will be streamed online. Register here.
