At first, you might think - "Don (or, your name if you're doing the thinking)- how in the world could I possibly win a selfie contest when I'm stuck at home in filthy pajamas?" Thankfully, it is indeed possible and I will quickly show you how.

First- you may wish to show yourself in front of your computational device looking at your own presentation (see my example). Or, (and this may very well blow your mind), show yourself looking at a friend in front of their computational device and have them look at your presentation too. YOU ARE BOTH LOOKING AT YOUR OWN PRESENTATION!!! What an incredible time to be alive!

Second- try taking a selfie in front of something that you use in your research. Might be a microscope, a paint brush, or a heap of old suitcases in your basement. Remember- research can be anything.

Once you have mastered these techniques (and I am confident you will), upload your selfie to FaceBook, Instagram and/or Twitter using #umbcURCAD for a chance to win one of four gift cards to the UMBC Bookstore!
