ABSTRACT
Abstract Submission for the 2016 year is now closed. Thank you all who submitted!
POSTER
Please email your finished posters to Heidi Coia (hgc10@georgetown.edu) by Monday, September 19th by 5pm if you want MCGSO to print it for you!
Once you have received an email from MCGSO confirming the acceptance of your abstract for a poster presentation, you will need to ensure that your poster is prepared. Keep in mind that like your abstract, your poster and poster presentation should be geared toward a general science audience.
If you have a poster already printed from a recent meeting, you are welcome to use this. Please send us the dimensions of your poster so that we reserve adequate space for you. If you are creating a new poster, we will be able to assist in the cost of poster printing. You will receive details about poster specifications and deadlines to receive assistance in you confirmation email.
As we draw closer to Student Research Day, you will receive further instructions regarding poster placement, evaluations, and schedules for attending your poster.
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Student Research Day 2016
Student Research Day will again include short oral presentation format for research presentations. These sessions will consist of a series of 10 min talks with PowerPoint followed by 5 min for questions and transition. If you are interested in presenting your research in an oral format, be sure to indicate this during abstract submission. Only a select number of abstracts will be chosen for oral presentations.
Just as abstracts are expected to be written for a general science audience, all oral presentations should be made in the same way.
