Lightning Talks for Emerging Science Topics

Presentations showcase the essence of the research in four minutes with no more than five slides. Lightning session will be late afternoon on the first day of the conference.

Posters

Posters should be a maximum of 45″ wide by 45″ tall and use graphic elements such as charts, tables, graphs, photos, or drawings along with text. Simplicity makes more of an impact on the viewer than a cluttered poster with a lot of tiny text.

You will have a 4′ wide by 4′ tall bulletin board area to mount your poster. Poster presenters are expected to be available to discuss their posters with conference participants during the poster session (late afternoon on the first day of the conference) and, if possible, during breaks over the course of the conference.

Abstract Submission Directions

Submission Guidelines

  • Abstracts should provide a brief overview of the approach and key findings to be presented at the conference.
  • Abstracts should include enough detail to allow proposal reviewers to fully understand the intent and content of the presentation, lightning talk, or poster.
  • Abstract length is limited to 500 words (2,000 characters).
  • Spell out all acronyms and abbreviations the first time they are used in your abstract.
  • If accepted, the abstract will be included in the online conference program, so it should be engaging and easy to understand by a general audience.
