The program features three events for students. A Careers Workshop. This event will feature speakers from Industry, Zoos, Pharmaceutical Companies, small teaching colleges, NIH and NSF to talk about career alternatives to academic research. Pizza and beer will be provided and attendance limited to students and post-docs to allow for open discussions . Students will be able to have lunch in small groups with individual senior SBN members to facilitate the formation of mentorships.
Entry is optional.
Students will be judged on the basis of their abstracts, poster quality and their ability to present the science to judges. Prizes include a number of Book Awards provided courtesy of Academic Press. To be considered in the student award competition, you must be first or sole author and you must indicate on the abstract submittal form that you wish to compete. The boards have a gray carpet surface and an aluminum frame. This configuration provides a display surface on both sides.
