Poster
presenters: Please check this site to make sure all of the posted information
for your poster is correct. Please contact me (dmeier@nist.gov) if youd like to make a
change in your category or provide corrections for your abstract. We have
two sessions Session I (A) (9:00 am to noon, featuring
categories M, T, E, and X) and Session II (Z) (1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, featuring categories C, P, B, and Y). Your
poster is numbered as follows: Session (A or Z), Poster Number, and (Category
Code). So for example, if your poster number is A10(M), this would indicate that you are poster 10 in the
morning session, Materials category. Poster numbers in bold type
indicate those posters presented by Sigma Xi members.
Hanging
of posters will begin 30 minutes before your session starts. The maximum poster
width is 60 inches. If your poster is numbered 48 or lower, please bring push
pins with which to hang your poster. For posters numbered 49 or higher, please
bring adhesive tape for this purpose. Please make sure that your poster
identifies your program classification (NRC, ARRA, etc.).
