Call for Abstracts, SABR36 -- REMINDER

From Neal Traven...


As the chair of presentations for SABR36 in Seattle, I remind you
that we are still accepting abstracts. Details on how to submit them
are available on the SABR website at the following
URL: http://www.sabr.org/sabr.cfm?a=cms,c,1449,17,0

The submission deadline for abstracts is March 1, 2006. Note that
you can send your submissions to either the
sabr2006-presentations@comcast.net or
sabr2006presentations@comcast.net email address.

Please note that we continue to encourage you to consider submitting
your work for consideration as a poster presentation (it's perfectly
OK to submit it for both oral and poster). Since not everyone is
familiar with the concept of poster presentations, I refer you to
several websites with information about the value of posters.

http://www.siam.org/siamnews/general/poster.htm (general info on what
posters do)
http://www.ncsu.edu/project/posters/IndexStart.html (detailed steps and ideas)
http://www.biology.lsa.umich.edu/research/labs/ktosney/file/PostersHome.html
(examples, good and bad)

Please examine those sites with an eye toward HOW the material is
presented and formatted rather than the (usually scientific) SUBJECT MATTER.

In accompanying messages, I will have information about other roles
you might want to fill in the SABR36 presentations effort --
vetting/reviewing abstracts, and onsite judging of presentations.

For those who have already submitted abstracts -- I am in the process
of moving to a more capable computer system, and have not yet gotten
organized enough to individually acknowledge receipt of your
materials. You'll be hearing from me directly very soon.
