Abstract Specifications
The template for both poster and oral presentations is provided below. We ask authors to please not change the formatting of the template. Save the file for submission with the first author's last name (e.g. Coe_Abstract). In case the first author submits more than one abstract, please indicate by numbering the submissions (e.g. Coe_Abstract_1, Coe_Abrstract_2, etc). Abstracts are limited to a 300-word paragraph.
