Don't Vote Until After Midnight Tonight!

Hi everyone,
There seems to be some confusion about the voting process. You can't vote on the projects until after midnight tonight. I only sent the link out earlier today so that you could report any corrections/changes to your project information.

Please wait until you can read the abstracts to vote - don't judge a project by its title!

If you already voted, please vote again after midnight tonight so that we can count your vote.

Best,
Allison

At midnight tonight, you will be able to see all of the abstracts. Please read them and vote on all of the projects using this form (you have until the end of the day on Friday to vote):
