3:10 Discussion and Closing Remarks

Apply to give a talk

This meeting relies on people volunteering to give contributed talks. We especially encourage visitors, new arrivals to the area, post-docs, and students to give talks. Also, we encourage you to invite others who may be interested in attending, including people from outside the DC area. Finally, please do not hesitate to request a talk even if you think that your presentation will be relatively short, because we aim to have ample time for discussion.

We also solicit 5-minute flash talks, so people are welcome to request a flash talk to showcase a poster or present other announcements.

Since we strive to have these meetings several times a year, we hope that everyone that is interested will be able talk about their current research in the near-term.

The deadline to request a talk for the May 14, 2021 meeting was April 23, 2021; however, you are welcome to submit talk requests at any time. Your request will be saved and considered for future meetings.

Please use THIS FORM to submit a talk request.
