Feature Your Research in Our Poster Session!

We invite students and postdoctoral researchers to participate in the Spring School poster session.

Exceptional posters will be celebrated with awards, making this an invaluable opportunity to highlight your contributions and spark new collaborations. For consideration, submit an abstract (250 words or less) presenting the overall objectives of the poster by January 27th.
