SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL SIGMA XI POSTDOCTORAL POSTER PRESENTATION

CALL FOR POSTERS

 

The NIST Chapter of Sigma Xi invites all Postdoctoral Fellows to present a poster on their scientific research to their NIST coworkers and friends. Guest Researchers who have received their advanced degree in the last five years are also welcome. There will be two sessions – Session I (from 9 am until noon) and Session II (from 1 pm until 4 pm). Both sessions will take place on February 24, 2010 in Lecture Rooms A and B and the adjoining hallway in the Administration Building and will be accompanied by refreshments. All participants will be invited to a special reception the following week, for the announcement of the most outstanding poster award in each category.

 

There are two required steps to participate in this event:

 

  1. Register.  Please register online according to the directions on the NIST Chapter of Sigma Xi web page (www.nist.gov/sigmaxi).  The registration fee is $10 for Sigma Xi members and $20 for non-Sigma Xi members.

 

  1. Submit an Abstract.  Please send a one page abstract of your poster to Doug Meier (douglas.meier@nist.gov).  See online instructions on how to format your abstract on the Sigma Xi web site.  All abstracts must be formatted in MS Word and contain the requested information – all submissions that are not properly formatted will be returned.  Sigma Xi PPP abstracts from previous years can be seen at www.nist.gov/sigmaxi. 

 

Please note that the poster can be about your doctoral research if you have not been at NIST long enough to have performed sufficient research. 

 

THE DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS IS JANUARY 15, 2010.  Posters in each session will be numbered according to the time of their receipt. Space is limited, so please sign up early. For more information, please contact PPP 2010 Chairman Dr. Barbara Levin at barbara.levin5@verizon.net.
