Intended as an inspirational session, the Lightning Talks are a series of delicious, rapid-fire talks on spatially-flavored topics. Each presenter is allotted three minutes to develop a topic. This event is currently organized by Anagha Uppal.
2020’s Spatial Lightning Talks were one to remember. As we munched on Chipotle, our listeners from across campus and the community were regaled with three-minute talks that ran the gamut, and that captured our attention for an hour. Speakers had the challenge to present a new topic to the audience in only three minutes, after a which a loud (electronic) bell would stop their thought in its tracks – because it was question time!
