The meeting in Seattle will feature breakfast and lunch-time roundtables. Sessions include a discussion leader, ten lucky ticket holders, and a topic of mutual interest. Participants spend one hour in conversation with an expert getting to know colleagues' views of timely, scientific, ethical, professional, and (especially) controversial topics. These sessions are limited to ten (10) participants plus one discussion leader per table. Click on the roundtable organizer's name below to view a brief bio.

Posters will be the primary venue for presentation of the annual meeting's highest quality research findings and methods. Posters will be hung the night before each session and will be on display for approximately 24 hours. A panel of judges will select the three best posters from each session. Plus, each poster session will have one out-standing student prize. Poster winners will be recognized publicly at the end of each session at which time prizes will be awarded. Judges will comment on each of the winning posters at the awards/presentations. See you there!
