The sessions will consist of asynchronous presentations and commentary hosted online followed by a synchronous virtual Q&A session on Thursday, April 25, 2024
Submissions should include an abstract that clearly addresses the following:
- brief background information about your project,
- the research question or problem that drove your project,
- the methods used,
- your findings and a brief discussion that includes the impact of your project,
- a brief description of any equity, diversity, or inclusion considerations in your work.
NOTE: Proposals are limited to 250 words. Please do not include any identifying elements (name, institution, etc.) in your abstract or title.
Submit a proposal here. Again, the deadline is now Friday, March 29.
