This session will focus on talks and posters given by graduate students and is being coordinated by Dave Oliver, the CMDR graduate student representative. This CMDR Session will provide graduate students with an opportunity to present material related to their research and to facilitate the exchange of ideas and perspectives within the CMDR community. The sessions will consist of a set of four oral presentations given by students followed by an informal poster presentation. Prizes will be awarded for the best oral presentation and the best poster. Refreshments and snacks will be provided at the poster session.
Further information is outlined below.
Students who wish to give an oral presentation are asked to submit an abstract or 1 page summary describing the work that will be presented. Each abstract will be reviewed and four will be selected for oral presentation. Those not selected to give an oral presentation will be invited to present a poster. Presentations will be limited to 10-12 minutes followed by five minutes of questions. Students who do not submit abstracts may still present a poster but will not be considered for the award.
