Selection criteria
If we need to select, applicants will be chosen based on the quality of the science in the abstract and allowing for access to a maximum of labs (i.e. if need be, we will try to diminish applicants from same labs). An additional series of talks will also be selected from abstracts and applicants will be notified at least three weeks before the Conference.
Abstract guidelines
Abstracts should include title, authors, affiliations and summary and be limited to 250 words.
Poster specifications
The poster board is double-sided. Your assigned number will be in the upper left hand corner of the poster board. The poster boards are in portrait format, and authors can make use of the full dimensions of 90 cm width × 140 cm height. All the material necessary for attaching the poster to the poster board will be available at the poster area.
Each author is responsible for assembly and removal of his/her own poster. The poster sessions have a designated time. Poster presenters are requested to be available at their poster to discuss their research with the meeting attendees.
