Review Criteria

Abstracts will be reviewed by members of the symposium executive committee, and you will receive a notification of abstract acceptance by May 17th, 2019. We will do our best to accept as many abstract as possible (with a maximum of 15 talks and 30 posters), within the constraint of prioritizing representation across different disciplines and different campuses.

Short Talks

Short talks are 10-minute presentations intended to promote interdisciplinary research and spark discussions among symposium participants. These talks are a way to quickly present your current work in a friendly and supportive audience. An important benefit of presenting is the opportunity to get tailored, positive feedback as you meet people throughout the day and to find potential collaborators at other institutions. Keep in mind that the symposium is open to postdocs in all disciplines, thus the format of abstracts for talks should be as general as possible to target a large audience.

Posters

Posters are a way for attendees to present results, gain feedback, find collaborators on a topic, and spark discussions among participants. Abstracts for posters can be more directed to a specific target audience.
