Memorable Quote: “So if you're going to spend time doing this research, you really should present, or you should try to publish, or you should try to use it as kind of a launching pad for a different research project that you do by yourself or you do with another faculty member. So we kind of work with them on how would that, what would that look like? And how do you find a professional conference that you might want to present at? Oh, you found it now. How do you write an abstract? And how do you submit it?”Dr. Cannon.
