CC Poster Competition: Basic Information

Poster competitors will receive the link to submit their posters and talk after sending Holly Goodson (hgoodson@nd.edu) an abstract with the subject line "CC abstract."

Neither the posters nor poster presentations will be public: initially only invited submitters will have access, and after the submission window, only the steering committee (judges) will have access. However, we will post the poster abstracts to the community as part of the March meeting.  And of course, the winners will given the opportunity to present in person on April 15 at Northwestern!

Poster competitors will submit both their poster and a pre-recorded 3-5 minute video/audio poster presentation that will be viewed and judged by the Steering Committee. 

People are encouraged to reuse their posters/presentations from other meetings (e.g., ASCB, which also had 3-5 minute poster presentation talks).  

For the visual part of the video/audio presentation, you can either use the poster itself or a separate set of slides.

We will send more information about the technical process of how to record your presentation, but one option is to do it by Zoom. Just make sure that you upload both a poster and your recorded talk, and that the talk is 5 minutes or less.
