Posters

The poster session will be held on Saturday, November 19 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in Buck Hall. Push pins and tape will be provided. All posters should be set up prior to the session begins. Posters may be mounted before the program begins at 1:00 p.m., during the 2:00 p.m. or 3:30 p.m. breaks, or during the 5:00 p.m. faculty meeting. Posters should be taken down on Sunday, November 20 during the 10:20 a.m. break.

We will award cash prizes for the top three posters with a graduate student or postdoc as the first author. The winners will be announced on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. immediately following the last talk.
