ABS 2020 Virtual Meeting

Abstract Submission

Presentation Options

Pre-recorded 6-minute talk presentation, with an invitation to participate in a live Q&A/discussion session scheduled during the program.
Pre-recorded 3-minute lightning talk (comparable to presenting a poster)

Abstract Submission Guidelines

To be considered for any of the above presentation options, an abstract must be complete and submitted online by the posted deadline.
Abstracts cannot be submitted until meeting registration (including payment) is complete.
The abstract itself should be less than 1200 characters including spaces, but excluding title, authors, and affiliations (about 200 words).
6-minute talk sessions will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis with preference given to students and post doc registrants. If a talk slot is not available a 3-minute lightning talk will be assigned.
Please complete your submission carefully. All abstracts must be in final form. No typos or other errors can be corrected after the deadline.
Abstracts will not be considered unless all required fields are completed. Authors may edit abstracts online as long as they meet the submission deadline.
Registrants may submit one science abstract for a talk or lightning talk, as well as one education/teaching lightning talk.
Presenters will be allowed to include one figure (image or data table). Figures will be collected with the final program content/presentation recordings.

Author Notifications

Abstract notifications will be available around July 1 and sent via email to the submitting author.
Remember 6-minute talks are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. All others will be assigned as a 3-minute lightning talk.
Those selected for a 6-minute talk will be asked to participate in a scheduled live Q&A/discussion session during the program dates.
