Fellows' Poster Session & Abstracts

Britton Olson explains his research to Zachary Ulissi at the 2010 Fellows' Poster Session.

Friday, July 22 — 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Salons H, J & K; Crystal Gateway Marriott

The annual Fellows' Poster Session affords conference attendees a unique opportunity to learn more about the research being supported by the DOE CSGF program.  Each fellow is provided space to present his or her latest findings, and prizes are awarded to those who engage in the best visual and oral presentations.
