You don't need to upload your poster file. However, plan on bringing your printed poster to the retreat (note that EMBRIO, and the BME department for non-BME students, can't print your poster - no exceptions). Scientific Figure Competition - Submissions Due July 1st We're extending the deadline to submit your scientific figure, live cell video, or model simulation - now due by July 1st (no further extensions) - for the competition during our annual retreat, and we are expanding the competition to have two divisions: I. Graduate Students, II. Postdocs & Staff Research Scientists. Share your best work with the community!
