The NIST chapter of Sigma Xi invites all early-career researchers to present a poster for our annual event. The poster content should focus on your NIST research topic (or research from a previous institution if you are new to NIST). The Early-Career Poster Presentation will be held in-person on Wednesday, May 3, 2023 in the NIST Gaithersburg Building 101 Hall of Flags with three sessions: 1o:00 am-11:45 am EDT (BIO/CHEM/MATH), 12:00 pm-1:45 pm EDT (MATER/POLY), and 2:00 pm-3:45 pm EDT (PHYS/ENG & MAN/CS). Snacks and refreshments will be provided during all sessions. Poster presentation location and times will be assigned to each participant prior to the event. All participants and attendees are invited to an awards reception at the end of the day (4:30 pm EDT, Building 101 Heritage Room) where light fare will be served, NIST Director Laurie Locascio will give brief remarks, and the three most outstanding posters from each session will be announced.
Additionally, to accommodate those outside the DC metro area (Boulder, Charleston, etc.), a limited number of slots will be available for live remote presenters at the event. These spots will be filled on a first-come basis.
