The “Shark Tank” is a platform to allow participants to present their work in the most grandiose way to attract attention to their work. Modeled after the reality television show, where would-be entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of investors, it is one of the highlights of the NEURAL Conference. “Shark Tank” gives the students freedom to think about how their project could have a big impact in neuroscience and to highlight the importance of their work. Students who want to participate should sign up at the link below and will be randomly assigned an order of presentation at the event. The “Shark Tank” presenters will be allowed 3 minutes each to sell their project. Cash prizes ($100 - $250) will be awarded to the top 3 presenters. The Shark Tank competition will take place on Thursday, June 25, 5:00-7:00pm at the UAB Alumni House, and is open to graduate trainees only. Winners will be announced at the end of the conference on Friday, June 26.
