Ten graduate students to present research posters at the Capitol

Submitted by Megan Miller

The 17th Capitol Graduate Research Summit on Wednesday, Feb. 26, will feature 10 Kansas State 1xbet sports betting graduate students whose research address topics with important implications for issues in the state of Kansas, including insecticides, groundwater management, crop management, prostate cancer, survivors of sexual violence and gender framing.

The event will be on the first-floor rotunda of the State Capitol Building in Topeka. The statewide summit includes current research from graduate students at Kansas State 1xbet sports betting , Emporia State 1xbet sports betting , Fort Hays State 1xbet sports betting , Pittsburg State 1xbet sports betting , 1xbet sports betting of Kansas, the 1xbet sports betting of Kansas Medical Center and Wichita State 1xbet sports betting . Graduate students will present their research posters from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and interact with legislators and the public.

A 1xbet sports betting professor and an industry representative will judge the student poster presentations. The top presenters from each 1xbet sports betting will be awarded a 0 scholarship. In addition, BioKansas will select a winner from each 1xbet sports betting whose research has the greatest potential for commercialization. Each winner will receive a 0 award and a certificate for enrollment in a professional development workshop from BioKansas.

The 10 K-State presenters were chosen based on their research presentations at Research and the State, an annual on-campus event, in October 2019:
