SRA-NE Poster Session April 1, 2010
SRA-New England
2010.
Below is the announcement/call for abstracts. I would encourage all
risk professionals to submit an abstract. Although we are encouraging
students and post-docs to submit, consultants (both entry-level and
experienced) will also provide great value to this event. Please
forward the announcement to your co-workers and contacts in consulting
or within academia. We are interested not only in topics directly
related to risk assessment, but also related topics such as chemistry,
exposure modeling, or reports on projects completed. Thanks!

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL POSTERS
SRA-NE does not require a particular format for posters. However, if
you have never developed a poster, you may want to consult some of the
many resources on the web. While we don’t endorse any particular
approach, we hope that you might find these links helpful. Some
provide templates as well as information on content and format. If you
don’t have access to a poster printer, many copy shops will print them
for you.
