POSTER
PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
- The Michigan ASM encourages students
(undergrad and graduate), as well as faculty, post-docs and other professional
microbiologists, to present posters at our fall and spring meetings. Ideally a poster
presentation would relate to the general theme of the conference, but that is not a
criterion for submission. If you would like to present a poster of your research at
this MI-ASM CONFERENCE, follow the guidelines below carefully and note the changes in
judging and award policies.
IMPORTANT
POSTER PLACEMENT NOTICE - PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING A FALL 2007 POSTER
Your poster should be
prepared to fit on a tri-fold (self-standing) 4 ft high x 8 ft wide foam board that will be provided. These will be standing on "waist
high" tables.
If your poster is larger than
the above dimensions or you anticipate other special needs to present your research,
please contact Mike Ryan or Daniel Clemans and let them know of your needs. See their
email links below. |
- NOTE THE
FOLLOWING RULES CONCERNING STUDENT AWARDS:
- 1. To be eligible for student awards, the student
presenter must be at their poster and prepared to discuss the findings with the
judges during the judging period.
-
- 2. The presenter must be a student in order for the
poster to be considered for student awards.
3. When you electronically submit
your abstract, state in the body of the e-mail, but not the abstract, if you wish your
poster to be considered for student awards. |
The student who is the
primary poster presenter does not pay the conference registration fee and they also receive one year free membership
in MI-ASM. STUDENT ENTRIES will be judged by branch members and the winner of the
"Best Student Poster" will receive a copy of Dr. Philipp Gerhardt's classicbacteriological manual or other book, and a free
membership to the National ASM. To
be eligible for student awards, the student presenter must be at the poster and
prepared to discuss the findings with the judges.
- Submit your name,
college or university you attend, department affiliation, the full title of your poster,
and a brief (200 words) abstract of its content to the MIASM webmaster. The deadline for submitting abstracts for posting to this website
is Wednesday, October 10. You may submit abstracts after this date,
but they will not be posted until after the conference. All posted abstracts will remain
on the MI-ASM archived meeting webpage.
- Use a Times Roman
12-pt. font. Type the title first, then list the authors (all capital letters; use an
asterisk to denote the person delivering the poster; the presenter must be a
student for the poster to be considered for student awards), then list institutions
and short addresses. You may include e-mail addresses if you wish. Visit the MIASM
archived meetings webpage for examples of previous abstracts.
- Abbreviations that
are generally understood are acceptable.
- Please italicize
all scientific names and all appropriate genetic terminology if possible.
- Please submit your
abstract by email to: [email protected]. Send the information within the body of the e-mail
message as well as an attached file. Also
state in the body of the e-mail, but not the abstract, if you wish this poster to be
considered for student award. You will receive electronic confirmation that your
poster info arrived safely from cyberspace!
- For the Fall 2007 meeting, also forward
your abstract to the meeting organizers (Mike Ryan
and Daniel Clemans). They need to track the number
of submitted posters.
- If you presented
your poster at an ASM National Meeting or at another conference, please note that in your
abstract submission.
If you have any questions
regarding posters, please contact conference organizers (Mike Ryan and Daniel Clemans)
