Included within the schedule are also our panel sessions, workshops, symposia, social event, and more.

Participants at this year's conference can present oral or poster presentations, each in a virtual format. To better understand the difference between virtual oral and poster presentations, please view the video next to this text.
All oral and poster presentations will be pre-recorded by presenters and posted to the conference website for viewing by all registered members. Oral presenters will have the ability to participate in a live, moderated Q&A session. Poster presenters will have the ability to address questions from meeting participants through a chat feature built into the conference software. Presentations must be uploaded to the conference software by February 24, 2021. Instructions for uploading presentations are available in your abstract acceptance letter. Abstract acceptance emails were sent out the week of February 3, 2021. If you have not received an acceptance letter, please email us at info@sebiologists.org. |

Original T-shirt designed by Sara Schoen Technology has only continued to grow in importance in Biology over the last few years. Now, more than ever, we rely on technology to advance biological fields forward. The impact of COVID-19 has been jarring, but it has not halted the desire and drive to continue research. Bionics and bioinformatics are just a few combinations of engineering and biology or computer science and biology. The integration of technology into biology has been instrumental in the evolution and progression of biological research. While model organisms, field work, and lab work remain vital, computational and advanced technological research has now become another cornerstone contributing to the advancement of scientific research. |
