Presentations were strictly limited to 3 minutes or less. Two points were deducted from total score for every five seconds a student exceeded the time limit. Students were allowed to include one static image (such as a photograph or PowerPoint slide) for their presentation, but could not utilize PowerPoint, Prezi, or other multi-slide presentations. The primary mode of communication had to be verbal. A prop or other visual aid was allowed, but only to serve as a supplement to the larger presentation, not the focus. Karra made it all the way to the LoboBites final round as the only representative of the Humanities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Puthoff and Karra Shimabukuro both presented at the Spring 2017 Shared Knowledge Conference, which was an exciting demonstration of research excellence from UNM graduate students.
