    The Lightning Round is ideal for introducing attendees to research or programs that are-in-progress, describing something you tried that didn’t work out, or getting feedback on an idea you’re mulling over.

Please send a brief abstract (1-2 paragraphs) to Kristen Romme (kromme@mun.ca) no later than Friday, March 20, 2015.
