American Peptide Society's Student Affairs Committee
Young Investigator Poster Competition
at the 16th American Peptide Symposium
June 17, 1999
Dear Poster Competition Participant:
Thank you for participating in the Young Investigator Poster Competition
at the Sixteenth American Peptide Symposium in Minneapolis. As in past
years, judging of the posters will consist of two rounds of competition.
In the first round each participant will give a short oral presentation
to a team of two judges. The poster presenter will be expected to answer
any questions that arise during this presentation. Judges will then rank
the posters that they were assigned to review, based on their estimation
of the quality of both the oral and poster presentations and the
scientific merit of the work presented. Those posters in the top group
of the rankings from each team of judges will then be entered in the
second round of competition. There will be no oral presentations in this
second round. All posters in the second round will be compared directly
by all of the judges, and ranked according to the same criteria as before
for the purpose of selecting the prize winners.
We look forward to seeing you in Minneapolis. We hope you will be
staying for the entire Symposium and will be present at the banquet
Thursday evening when the Poster Competition awards will be presented.
In addition to cash prizes a number of publishers are donating books for
prizes for the Poster Competition.
Good luck in the competition!
