Bonsall Technical
Writing Prize
Marcella and Joel Bonsall SURF Prize for Technical Writing
All Amgen Scholars are eligible for this competition that was created as an incentive
for students to develop engaging, jargon-free, lucid scientific writing. Up to
six finalists will receive $250.
Perpall Speaking Competition
Robert C. Perpall, a Caltech alumnus and member of the SURF Board, created the
Doris S. Perpall SURF speaking prize in 1993 as an incentive for Caltech students
to give excellent oral presentations. Good communication skills are critical,
and throughout a career, individuals have numerous opportunities to discuss their
work both formally and informally. It has been said that "science not communicated
is essentially science not done."
The criteria that judges will use when evaluating presentations for the Doris
S. Perpall SURF Speaking Competition can be found here (pdf).
