abstracts – available online and at Printing
stations in the exhibit hall
In support of our efforts to make this the most environmentally
responsible APS meeting yet, printed abstract books will not
be available at the meeting. Searchable abstracts are available
at http://meeting.apsnet.org and abstract printing stations are
located in the exhibit hall, and near the meeting rooms for
your convenience.
Technical Posters and flash-and-dash
More than 650 poster presentations feature the latest in scientific
research. All poster authors will be present at their posters
for discussion on selected days throughout the program.
Flash-and-dash poster authors will present their individual
posters in the form of a five-minute, three-slide talk. Poster
viewing with these authors follows in the exhibit hall. Check
the daily program schedule for presentation times and topics.
New location! This year flash-and-dash presentations will take
place in the exhibit hall, making it easier for those attending to
go directly to the posters for time with flash-and-dash authors.
