Postbaccalaureate Poster Day Set

Postbac Poster Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 2. It will be held at Natcher Conference Center from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The keynote address will begin at noon, followed by presentation of Postbac Distinguished Mentoring Awards to NIH investigators selected by the postbacs. Poster session I will take place from 10 a.m. to noon and session II is from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. 

Poster Day is an opportunity for postbacs to share the research they have been conducting at NIH and at the same time develop their scientific communication and networking skills. 

Posters will be reviewed by teams composed of graduate students, postdocs and staff scientists/clinicians. The authors of the top 20 percent will receive a letter acknowledging their accomplishments. 

Investigators, staff scientists and scientific administrators can make an important contribution by visiting posters and engaging their authors in discussion.
