And now for my second thread of the day: (no, I DON’T spend my life on CC AT ALL)

I sent a supplementary research abstract that was an overview of the project I am entering in the Intel Science Talent Search. This has been bugging me for quite some time, but who reviews these abstracts?

Unless you’re a researcher in the field, you’re going to look at my abstact and be like, “Wow, how…sciency!” It’s rather technical. Now, if you actually ARE a researcher, then you’d examine it with a MUCH more critical/skilled eye, especially given that I am working in a new and still somewhat controverial field.

Seeing as how Yale obviously has some highly qualified reserachers that they could potentially call on…do they? Or is it more like, ok, complicated reserach project, check, move on?
