BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE, please register for the meeting so we can get a head count and publish a list of posters.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SYNBERCers:
- ALL STUDENTS AND POSTDOCS SHOULD BRING A POSTER. The target size is 36" x 48" (plus or minus a little bit is fine). Please use the SynBERC logo as appropriate. Here is a template poster document in Powerpoint. Mark your poster "CONFIDENTIAL" on the bottom if you anticipate patenting the work. All research is protected by non-disclosure and industry partnership agreements, and confidential work will be removed from public view.
- Monday September 22 will be a morning-only session broken into two parts. PIs will convene with Industry and SAB members to synthesize the meeting activities into a plan for the future. Separately, the Student Leadership Council (SLC) will convene to plan for the coming year.
- Travel expenses are the responsibility of each lab. SynBERC will reimburse SAB members and center staff.
- We strongly encourage students to buddy-up on rooms, given the expensive accommodations in Cambridge.
