2024 GEM Workshop Student Day

Organized by Student Representatives Hsinju Chen (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) and Austin Smith (University of Alaska, Fairbanks).

The GEM 2024 Summer Workshop was held during the week of June 23-28, 2024 at the Hilton Fort Collins in Fort Collins, CO. Student Day is on Sunday, June 23rd, and the main workshop will continue throughout the week. Please see the GEM Workshop website for the most updated information.

Introduction

  • Intro to GEM? - Hsinju Chen and Austin Smith

Student Tutorials

  • Fundamentals of Plasma Physics & Magnetosphere - Yang Zhang (Caltech/Princeton University)
  • Dayside Magnetosphere - Rebecca Harvey (University of Alabama Huntsville)
  • Nightside Magnetosphere - Dinesh Kumar Veypatty Radhakrishnan (University of Texas San Antonio/Southwest Research Institute)
  • Inner Magnetosphere - Shujie Gu (University of Texas Dallas)
  • Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling - Domenique Freund (University of Colorado Boulder)
  • Global System Modeling - Yang Mei (University of Colorado Boulder)

GEM Financial Aid Application

Selection criteria:

  • Applicants must be enrolled in a US-based institution and traveling from a location within the US.
  • Applicants must be enrolled in a university as a graduate student on the date the financial support application closes.
  • A student applicant’s advisor must submit a letter of acknowledgement. A statement of financial need is optional.
  • Students receiving financial support must participate during the Student Day activities and present a poster during the main workshop poster sessions.
  • Student representatives will be funded.
  • Student tutorial speakers will be funded.
  • Financial need: letters from the student’s advisor (or from the post-doc applicant) stating the level of financial need will be considered (e.g., the post doc has no travel funding; the advisor only has travel funding for one student but has five students who want to attend, etc.).
  • Lottery: Of the remaining funds, students will be selected via a lottery system. 1st time attendees will be weighted heavier in the randomized selection to ensure they are prioritized. There will be a box to check on the application to note if this is the student’s first time attending GEM.

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.
criteria 1 (below average) 3 (average) 5 (above average)
relevance No citations to previous work. No connection to current other work in the field. Presentation demonstrates connection to prior work and impact to larger community. Presentation shows impressive connection to prior work and applications to the field.
methodology Methodology is vague or not mentioned at all. Methodology outlined but some aspects not clear or well described. Comprehensive and thorough description of appropriate methodology is provided.
results There is no mention of results. Results are mentioned but not clearly described or connected to context of research. Results provided with description of impact OR future work.
oral articulation of science Presentation was not well articulated. Presenter was mostly clear and well articulated. Oral presentation of work was clearly worded, harmonious with poster, and insightful.

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.
criteria 1 (below average) 3 (average) 5 (above average)
balance Large empty spaces on poster/awkward cramped parts of poster. Fair use of space on poster. All of poster was filled without appearing cramped or difficult to read.
legibility Most of poster illegible, even when close up to poster. Most of poster legible from normal distance. All of poster perfectly legible from normal distance.
graphics Pixelated beyond point of legibility axes not labeled, missing needed information to interpret plots. Graphics fulfill the minimum of expectations with the presenter present, but improvements would be needed to stand alone. Figures are formatted to clearly convey information and have all needed information present to interpret plots.
flow Reading of poster jumps around from side to side. Flow is mostly intuitive with a few jumps. Flow of poster is intuitive.
