This is a friendly reminder that the deadline for video submission is September 1st, 2016.
ASIS&T invites a doctoral student in the dissertation writing stage or close to defending to submit a short video (up to 5 minutes) that introduces the world to the exciting and engaging research that you are doing.
In addition to the great visibility that your research receives, the best 20 submissions will win a free one-year ASIS&T membership (or free renewal).
All vetted submissions will be featured on the ASIS&T website .
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: September 1, 2016

* Your dissertation title, and the name of your advisor(s)
* What your research is about? How you went about it? What your findings indicate; and why it matters… (or any variant of these questions).
While we encourage the elevator speech format (concise and well articulated), feel free to be as creative as you want to be! Please consult with your advisor(s) when preparing for the video. And remember to practice, practice, practice.
FORMAT: Format the video using PowerPoint, Prezi, Camtasia, Jing, Screencast-O-Matic, VoiceThread, or Brainshark. Include a statement that your video is created for “Doctoral Research @ ASIS&T”. If an updated video file is needed, we will contact you with additional instructions.
