Registration Deadline: January 8, 2021 11:59 PM EST
To recognize the increasingly high quality of undergraduate research and to encourage further participation of undergraduates in the Biophysical Society and at the Annual Meeting, the Society awards and recognizes three outstanding students who give the best overall poster presentations during the Undergraduate Mixer & Undergraduate Poster Award Competition at the Annual Meeting each year on Saturday from 3:00 PM–5:00 PM.
Students are judged on the quality and scientific merit of their research, knowledge of the research problem, contribution to the project, and overall presentation of the poster. Judges look for students to present a clearly stated question, hypothesis, results, and conclusions.
To participate in the Undergraduate Poster Award Competition, the following rules apply:
- The student must be a member of the Biophysical Society with current year membership dues paid.
- The student must be either the first or second author on the poster being presented, with an abstract submitted to the Meeting.
- The student must present the poster during the Undergraduate Mixer and Poster Award Competition.
Please note that students who wish to compete using the same poster must be a first or second author on the poster, enter as an individual, and have their own copy of the poster to present to the judges (sharing a single poster will not be allowed in the competition). Students are also expected to describe their specific role and contribution to the project.
