Virtual Abstract Feedback Session
This is an annual virtual prep session designed for individuals who wish to receive feedback on their abstract from advisors and peers before submitting it in application to NESS. The meeting will be set up in small groups of students and advisors, where students will give a 2- to 4-minute elevator pitch to the group. Participating in this session is not required, nor does it guarantee acceptance to NESS.
The date and applications for the 2026 Virtual Abstract Feedback Session will be announced soon.
