Each poster session is one hours in length. Authors should be available during that time to answer questions, expand on the material and take part in discussions. The following guidelines have been adopted.

  1. Abstracts scheduled for poster session presentation will be grouped by topic. You will be notified of your session and time via email. Also check the meeting program onsite.

  4. A copy of your abstract in large type should be posted if space permits. Availability of hand-out materials and photocopies of the abstract are helpful.
  5. Type should be easily legible at a distance of several feet. Figure legends are essential and should be short but informative. Please do not write, draw or paste on the poster boards.
