Data Blitz Session

The program includes a data blitz session, giving graduate students and postdoctoral fellows an opportunity to briefly present their research findings. The number of data blitz presentations will be limited and will be prioritized according to registration date and also distributed to represent different labs and institutions.

Open Paper Session

In addition to presentations from trainees, we will have one “open paper” session that will provide faculty who are not speaking in the symposium sessions to deliver a slightly shorter 8-minute brief talk with 2 minutes for questions. No more than 10 slides are permitted in open paper sessions. Every effort will be made to accommodate all faculty interested in presenting open papers.

Poster Session

We invite undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research staff to participate in the poster session. Posters will be set up in the CNLM lobby and courtyard and will promote active, informal discussions. The poster session also provides a valuable opportunity to network with colleagues. Presenters must be present in person to present their posters. Boards can accommodate a poster measuring a maximum of 3'x4'
