2013 Fellows' Poster Session & Abstracts

The annual Fellows' Poster Session affords attendees a unique opportunity to learn more about the research supported by the DOE NNSA SSGF 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.
