Lightening Talks will be a total of 5 minutes long.

Both the posters and Lightening talk presentations will be judged, with prizes awarded in undergraduate, graduate student and post-doc/research staff categories. The time available for talks is limited, so we will not be able to accommodate all who wish to present a talk. Oral presentation slots will be awarded based on the quality and scientific importance of the abstract submitted.  Presenters who request a talk and are not selected will be automatically registered for a poster presentation.  Abstracts for both talks and posters should be 250 - 400 words with a short, informative title.   The posters themselves will need to be 4 ft by 3 ft or smaller.
