The average person — your neighbors, friends and children — can
find science difficult to understand. But we need public support for our work,
to help ensure strong government funding and favorable regulations for
research. It's vital that eye and vision researchers can communicate clearly –
to everyone – about their work.
So,
can you describe your
work so that a 12-year-old can understand?
ARVO members are invited to
a one- or two-sentence explanation
of what they do using simple, yet creative, language.
The first place prize is a $250 Amazon gift card and complimentary registration
to ARVO 2015 in Denver, Colo. The second and third place prizes are $150 Amazon
gift cards. Winners will be announced during the opening keynote session at
ARVO 2014.
Deadline to enter: April 15.
Looking forward to seeing some great submissions!
