Climate Adaptation Scientists of Tomorrow
Last week, the three students in the NC CASC's Climate Adaptation Scientists of Tomorrow (CAST) program gave their final presentations. Eleven students from across the 4 CAST programs gave 3-minute thesis style presentations. They were judged by a panel of 4 judges on how clearly they communicated both their topic and the larger impact of their research, the quality of their single slide, and their presentation style. Steele Stevens (who worked with Tyler McIntosh in Earth Lab) won 2nd place and Kandice Agudo (who worked for part of the summer on a state vulnerability study with Heather) won 3rd. Congratulations to our students!
