their posters for discussion on selected days throughout the
program.
Introduced in 2007, Flash-and-Dash poster presentations
return in 2008 with triple the number of presentations
compared with last year. 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.
virtual Flash-and-dash
Launching APS into its next century, a selected group of
Flash-and-Dash presentations have gone virtual as part
of the Centennial celebration. Voice-overlaid PowerPoint
presentations of ten Flash-and-Dash poster presentations
were made in advance and are available during and after the
Centennial meeting. These presentations will run outside
Exhibit Hall C during the meeting and are available on the
annual meeting website at http://meeting.apsnet.org.
