Our Students on the Beamlines program gives an authentic and immersive science research experience for students, which includes communicating experimental findings with a scientific poster. We host an annual Students on the Beamline Poster Competition for student groups who have conducted research at the Canadian Light Source within the last year. There are two competitions: Judges' Vote and Public Vote. The winner of the Judges' Vote receives a trophy that they can display at their school and the winner of the Peer-Review receives a plaque they get to keep. // Connection Information Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/99887681802?pwd=T2iCktV0cKJiEvyQqnekZ10iiWn3g8.1 Passcode (if needed): AUM2024
