21  Conference Travel

Travel to conferences is dependent from year to year on our lab budget. Generally our model is that to attend a conference, your research project should be sufficiently developed such that it makes sense to present a poster or give a talk. This is something that we will decide together.

We often attend SFN and NCM each year. If there is another meeting or meetings that you would like to attend, that is a possibility, budget permitting. Typically trainees attend 1 major meeting per year.

21.1 Conference Abstracts

IMPORTANT: You will need to show me your draft abstracts, posters, etc, well in advance of the conference deadline, as typically we will require several edits before they are ready to submit. I would like to see your final draft at least one week before the conference deadline so that we have a chance to edit it together.

21.2 Conference Talks

For talks, you should have a complete talk prepared at least two weeks before the meeting (if not more), so that you can give one or more practice talks to our lab group, and make adjustments in advance of the meeting.
