Guidelines for talks: Typical presentations will be allotted approximately 15 minutes to allow sufficient time for discussions. Bring publications to share or at least references. Emphasize collaborative needs or plans, since we’ll all be together.  Recommend future studies, publications, proposals during the course of your presentation.

Grad student talks:  Be sure to briefly outline your degree research plans.  Present your ideas on lab exchanges that might benefit your project.

Facilities:  Overhead projector, Laptop PC (Windows XP Pro) with CD drive, LCD computer projector.  We welcome archiving talks in electronic format if you are willing.  Please leave a copy for us (CD-R preferred).
