Poster Sessions
Posters will be displayed during the entire meeting and will be presented Wednesday and Thursday evening in spacious rooms. About 10-20 poster presenters will be selected to give a poster “Lightning Talk” Wednesday or Thursday afternoon, so submit your poster abstract early for full consideration! The final deadline for submitting abstracts for poster presentations is November 1, 2020.
Career Development
The meeting will include a Career Development Lunch, where young investigators can meet with scientific leaders from academic, industry and governmental institutions. If you wish to participate as a mentor or mentee, please indicate this during registration and your preferred discussion topic. Every effort will be made to match mentees and mentors by topic, but please understand if you do not receive your first choice.
