Attention Poster Presenters: Below are the links to the poster sessions. Each abstract is listed numerically. The Abstract Number is preceded by a "Poster Number", this is your assigned poster board slot.

Each poster is allocated one side (of a double-sided) 6-foot-wide by 4-foot-high presentation board that is to be used to mount your poster. There are no constraints onformat or design, except that it must fit within confines of the 4x6 board. Posters can be mounted at lunchtime or thereafter up until the reception begins on Thursday or Friday night, and then removed by noon the following day. They will be affixed by the use of push pins, which we will provide.

Poster Session I: Thursday, March 15, 2001
