What is an abstract? This discussion will cover the structure and components of a technical research abstract. Writing an abstract is challenging, yet is perhaps one of the most important components of communicating your research. During this session we will break down the abstract into pieces that are easier to understand and complete. Join Shelley Pressley, Director of Undergraduate Research in the Division of Academic Engagement and Student Achievement (DAESA) to learn more about creating an abstract that summarizes your research this summer.
