Submitted talks will be presented on Saturday, with each talk to be scheduled for a total of 15 minutes. Speakers will be expected to complete their talks in less than 12 minutes, in order to allow time for feedback and questions.

Posters must be no more than 42 inches wide. Poster presenters should set up their work on Friday afternoon or evening for informal viewing throughout the weekend. There will be a dedicated poster session on Saturday afternoon.

In order to finalize plans for the meeting, we need to receive author and presentation titles from each participant by March 14, 2008. Please fill in the appropriate information on the Presentation Registration Form

All meeting participants should register for the meeting and make reservations for housing and meals through the MBL's Conference Registration website.
