Short Research Presentation

This Poster Presentation will combine the traditional one-page poster, with a 3-minute pre-recorded audio tour of your poster. The pre-recorded audio tour will be requested at a later date. During the virtual poster session, you will be assigned to a breakout room where meeting participants can join you to discuss your work, or ask questions. Our hope is that you will have an interactive environment to discuss your scholarly work and answer questions for participants who have already watched your 3-minute poster presentation.

These sessions will be scheduled for 60 minutes. The presenter(s) will introduce the topic for approximately 10 minutes, while the rest of the time should be dedicated to informal discussion and/or problem solving.
