Information for Shapiro students:

The Atrium houses the poster sessions and the big classrooms around the Atrium (HSLC 1306, 1325, 1335, and 1345) house the podium presentations in 4 concurrent oral sessions. There will be 40 slots awarded for podium presentations across the 4 rooms, and everyone else will present a poster in the Atrium. All M1s and M2s are expected to attend.
As a Shapiro student, you are required to participate in the Research Forum, either by presenting a poster in the Atrium or giving a talk (“podium presentation”). Please note that the podium presentations are competitively selected and if you are not selected for a podium presentation, you are expected to present a poster. When you submit your abstract (due by September 9), you will be able to indicate if you would like to be considered for a podium presentation.
At the session: Research Forum and How to Write an Abstract (pdf – NetID required / lecture-NetID required), Vera reviewed process of applying for a podium slot vs. poster presentation, the scoring criteria, etc.
