Follow BU on Twitter!

Team BostonU is planning to host a third NEGEM meetup in October. The October meet up will follow the format of the 2012 and 2013 NEGEM meetings. Teams will come together for an afternoon (usually on a Saturday due to class schedules) to formally present their work in preparation for the Giant Jamboree. We'll also set aside time for each team to discuss their plans for their posters. Each team will leave this meet up with a stack of "feedback forms", which will be filled out by the other attendees. These forms have a handful of questions focusing on the clarity and aesthetics of the presentation, with a particular focus on how data is presented.
