>
> Each December, the editors of Popular Science magazine pick 100 new  
> products and technologies for our annual Best of What’s New awards.  
> The winners range from cell phones to cars to robotic limbs, but  
> they all have one thing in common: They represent significant leaps  
> forward in technology and innovation.
>
> For two of the categories, Health and Engineering, we pay special  
> attention to developments at the country’s top research  
> universities. For that reason, I want to encourage you to take the  
> time to nominate an outstanding discovery, product or thesis project  
> that came out of your school last year. To be eligible, it must have  
> debuted between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009. (Depending  
> on what you submit, the definition of “debuted” is clearly malleable  
> here.)
>
> Please visit popsci.com/enter <http://www.popsci.com/enter> to  
> submit your product for consideration. There you can also learn more  
> about categories and rules and view last year’s winners. The  
> deadline is August 21, but the sooner you enter, the more time we  
> can dedicate to evaluating your submissions. This is one of our  
> biggest and best-selling issues—last year’s generated more than 30  
> million media impressions—and it could provide crucial exposure for  
> your students, faculty or research centers.
>
> Thank you for your time. We’re looking forward to seeing what you’ve  
> been working on.
