Submit your abstract here. Deadline: June 2, 2013
The Student Development Working Group invites students to submit Research-in-Progress Posters covering topics in wildlife science, management, conservation, education, human dimensions, or policy. All undergraduate, master’s, and Ph.D. students are eligible for this session. Eligible posters include:
- Research that is in progress;
- A proposed research project (with a focus on study design);
- Results from completed undergraduate research projects; or
- Student chapter research projects that may not be appropriate for the regular poster sessions (these may include a class or group research project).
The Student Research-in-Progress Poster session will be held separately from the contributed poster sessions. You should not submit the same abstract for the Student Research-in-Progress Poster session if you have already submitted it as a Contributed Paper or Poster abstract. This is an excellent opportunity to receive feedback and suggestions from both professionals and peers. Posters may be no larger than 4 ft. tall x 3.75 ft. wide. You will be notified by email regarding whether your abstract was accepted by June 30.
