Poster and Talk information
Posters the space allocated for each poster is ~5½' high x 4' wide. Bring very long push pins (not two-sided mounting tape or thumbtacks), as the boards are thick cloth bulletin boards.
Talks Talks are limited to 20 minutes plus five minutes for questions. Speakers are asked to provide a picture (with a short description) to be used on the cover of the Biochemistry Fall Conference brochure. It is hoped you have something that you can easily excerpt from your Powerpoint presentation. This picture should be from your own work or lab where possible. Please email a jpg, jpeg, tiff, eps, or other file and description to l-cox1@uiuc.edu.
Please submit a Registration and Abstract Submission Form (see above).
