Fellows' Poster Session & Abstracts

Fellows showcase their research during the annual poster session and reception.

Thursday, July 26 — 3:30 - 6:30 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.
