To participate in the competition, in addition to normal abstract submission for the poster session (deadline of August 14, 2009), entrants must also submit a PowerPoint-type poster in PDF format by midnight (EST) September 11, 2009. The competition will be divided into two sections: Student (prior to receipt of PhD) and Post-doctoral.
