2021 Virtual GEM Workshop Student Day

Organized by Student Representatives Agnit Mukhopadhyay (University of Michigan) and Mei-Yun Lin (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)

Student Day is on July 25th (Sunday), 2021 and aims to introduce the students to the GEM workshop. This year, the whole student day will be held via both gather.town and Zoom, and we are excited to have six student tutorial speakers covering the GEM space science topics and a special topic on the Decadal Survey. Other than the tutorial talks, we will have the ice breaker event virtually through gather.town and we also welcome the whole GEM community to participate. The students can access the Zoom call either by entering Meeting Room A, B and C on gather.town or through the Zoom link (similar to what we did last year), through V-GEM student day webpage. Please see the student day schedule in the GEM student forum. The Student Day schedule is here.

2021 Virtual GEM Student Representative Election

We will also be hosting the election of the new student representative alongside the V-GEM 2021 Workshop. The role of the student representative is a crucial part of our student community, as they are our envoys to the larger GEM community and members of the organizing steering committee. Student activities include the GEM student day, which is generally composed of several tutorial talks to facilitate your participation at the GEM workshop. The student representatives take charge of the GEM student day and any student related activity during and after the workshop. The position of the Student Representative lasts for two years and both student reps get voting positions in the GEM Steering Committee, who are the organization of the GEM workshop.

  • Student Representative Election Process: Due to GEM being virtual this year, we request nominations of student representatives be made by the end of July 25 (Sunday). The nominees will then be required to submit their portfolio, including a short bio, a portrait photo, and a short video introducing themselves and explaining their agenda as student rep by 11:59 PM EST of July 26 (Monday). We highly encourage students who are planning or potentially thinking about running for this position to nominate themselves or nominate someone you feel will be apt for this position, by letting us know through email. After nomination, we will host the student coffee/tea break at 4:00-5:00 PM (EST), July 28 (Wednesday) on gather.town for short speeches from nominees and Q&A/panel session. Voting will then take place on July 29 (Thursday). Polls will start at 9 AM Eastern on July 29, and promptly close at 11:59 PM EST, unless otherwise notified. The new student representative will be announced around noon, Jul 30 (Friday). The flowchart of student representative election is here.

GEM Poster Guidelines

We, the GEM Student Representatives, host the GEM Student Poster Competition. The competition is designed to be feedback oriented, with students being judged over various areas of poster making and oral presentation. Student's ballots will be returned to them during the conference or afterwards by email. You may sign up for the poster competition as late as Student Day (the Sunday of GEM). To sign up for the GEM Student Poster competition, click here.

Below are some criteria students should consider when constructing their poster.

Scientific Criteria

-Relevance. Through connections to past works, how well does this current study advance, compliment, or supplement previously published works.

-Methodology. The process in which the study was performed should be well articulated and described.

-Results/Current Progress. Pending the current state of the project, are results (or future hopeful results) described and relevant to the work. Future work, if any, should be included and described.

-Oral Articulation. How well articulated was your verbal/oral presentation. Presentation should be cohesive with the poster.

Visual Presentation

-Balance. The poster should be filled with information without being considered cluttered. Avoid unnecessary blank spaces.

-Legibility. Poster should be legible from a normal standing distance (~2-6 feet / 0.6 - 1.8 meters). You may want to avoid font sizes less than 24. Figures should be large enough to be identifiable.

-Graphics. Figures are formatted clearly. All information should be clearly described (e.g., titles, legends, scales, color bars, etc.). Any expository dialogue pertaining to the figure should be present without appearing cluttered (see Balance).

-Flow. The poster follows a logical order. Order should be intuitive.
