Abstracts: Abstracts should be 300 words or less, excluding the title, authors and their affiliations. Use an asterisk to indicate the presenting author. The annual research symposium is an interdisciplinary meeting where researchers from various fields will evaluate your work. When writing your abstract for this meeting, please consider the following guidelines:
What background information will someone outside your field need to understand your work and the nature of the problem you are trying to solve? Does your abstract contain a clearly defined hypothesis or goal? What results were obtained and what methods were used to obtain them? What conclusions can be drawn from the data? What is the significance of your findings and their impact on the field? Is your abstract written in clear, concise, and easy to understand English? Try to use active verbs (e.g., discover, impair, allow) instead of inactive nouns (e.g., discovery, impairment, allowance) that can make your prose obscure. Also try to avoid wordiness and jargon. If you need to use field-specific technical jargon, explain it. When you have written your abstract, please have someone outside your immediate lab read it to assess whether they understand it. If they don’t understand it, your reviewers may not understand it either!
Posters: Please limit the size of your poster to a maximum of 48” x 72”. You may use a poster that you presented at another conference. However, if that poster includes an abstract that does not match the one you submitted for this meeting, you should print a copy of the new abstract and pin it next to your poster.
