Student Poster Competition Finalist

The SLAS Academic Poster Award recognizes the innovative research by students, graduate students, post-doctoral associates, and junior faculty (less than four years in first academic appointment) who are chosen to present a poster during SLAS2012, the Annual Conference and Exhibition of the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening.

Award
The award consists of cash awards of $750 for first place, $500 for second place and $250 for third place. The winners are announced in the SLAS Member Center, Exhibit Hall AB on Monday, February 6 at 5 pm and the first place winner is invited to participate in an interview with the SLAS Lab Man on Monday at 6 pm. In addition, the award-winning posters will be featured in an issue of JALA and/or JBS following the conference and identified as winners on LabAutopedia.
