CALLL FOR POSTERS
[Poster sessions are becoming a regular feature of the Forums. Details on
poster submission are posted on the website (http://scprf.ucsd.edu) well
before each Forum.]

The poster session is an excellent venue for Undergraduate and Master's
level students to present their research and gain experience in a friendly
and low pressure context. The poster session will convene during the one
hour afternoon coffee break.

Please note:  poster content does not have to reflect the meeting topic; we
will consider posters presenting information on a wide range of subject
matter.

This poster session continues to be a great success and we would like very
much to see it continue. If you are a student, or know of a student, who is
ready to present, please submit names and proposed titles to

Mary Baker  capuchin at aol.com   or
Lynne Miller  lmiller at miracosta.edu

Space will be limited, the earlier you respond the more likely we can
include the poster.

Posters should be mounted on folding poster boards measuring 36" X  48"
(when folded they measure 36" X 24") which can be purchased at  most office
supplies stores. General guidelines for how to put a  poster together can be
found at
