AAA Annual Meeting a Must

That's why AAA is continuing last year's event - Student Award Platform Sessions. Finalists for AAA's top student awards will present their work and be judged in two Saturday sessions: the Langman Graduate Student Award Presentations (3:30 - 5:00 PM, Room 122/125) and the Presley-Zeiss Postdoctoral Award Presentations (5:30 - 6:30 PM, Room 122/125). A between sessions reception gives students and postdocs a chance to meet prospective mentors and employers!
