Several features of the 2021 meeting will emphasize and showcase the active participation of young scientists:
- Many of the talks will be selected from abstracts submitted by graduate students and postdoctoral scholars
- Lightning talks will highlight additional work presented in the poster sessions
- Career guidance for trainees and meet-the-speaker sessions will be organized during the meeting
Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers and individual session chairs. The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
All questions pertaining to registration, fees, abstract submission, or any other matters may be directed to Catie Carr.
We have funds to provide partial scholarships for individuals who are US citizens/permanent residents from minority groups under-represented in the life sciences. Please provide justification in writing to
Catie Carr and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying who submit abstracts to the meeting.
