What is the ABRCMS ePoster Spring Symposium?
The ABRCMS ePoster Spring Symposium for Emerging Scientists is a unique opportunity for high school, community college, and first-year undergraduate students to build their scientific presentation skills and receive feedback from science mentors. This one-day virtual Symposium allows student scientists to join the ABRCMS (Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists) community by presenting research in one of the 12 ABRCMS scientific disciplines.
Submitted abstracts are reviewed. Those accepted to the Symposium may be selected to give an oral presentation or participate in the live ePoster sessions where they will interact with attendees and mentor judges.
