Graduate students and postdocs are welcome to submit TOC graphics for a poster-style competition with cash prizes up to $100 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners!
We invite you to refer to these guidelines for instructions on creating your TOC graphic.
This conference will include networking sessions and a career panel with a mixture of scientists from Industry, Academia and Government. More information on each of our career panelists can be found here.
