TO: Members of the Academy and Science Community
The thirty-seventh Annual Fall Scientific Paper Session of the Rochester Academy of Science will be hosted by the Rochester Institute of Technology on Saturday, November 6, 2010, from 8 AM to 2 PM. This session provides a forum for Academy members, the collegiate community and others engaged in scientific research to present the results of their investigations in an atmosphere that promotes discussion and interaction. Undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty members are encouraged to attend and to present posters or oral reports. You do not have to be a member of the Rochester Academy of Sciences to participate.
The Academy covers the full scope of basic and applied sciences, including
anthropology, botany, chemistry, computer science, ecology, environmental science,
geography, geology, physics, physiology, science education, and zoology. Presentations
may be oral reports or posters. Oral reports are limited to 15 minutes in length:
Use12 minutes for the presentation itself and allow 3 minutes for questions
from the audience at the end of your presentation. Posters provide an excellent
opportunity for author-audience interaction and students should consider this
mode of presentation, particularly if this will be their first scientific meeting.
An abstract of your presentation must be received by Friday, October 15, 2010.
We cannot guarantee that late submissions will be included.
Directions for abstract preparation and mailing are included on the attached registration form. Abstract books will be distributed at the Paper Session.
Registration will be held in the ground floor foyer of the Center for Integrated Manufacturing Strategies starting at 8:00 AM. Oral presentations and poster sessions will begin at 9:00 AM. Luncheon is at noon and will be followed by the Larry King Memorial Lecture. Refreshments will be provided throughout the morning. A map of the RIT campus and luncheon information will be included in the second call, which will be distributed in September.
