Guidelines for Posters and Talks
Abstracts submitted to the annual meeting of the Association of Southeastern Biologists are reviewed for completeness and appropriateness by an editing board consisting of members of the program committee and the editor of the bulletin of the ASB, Southeastern Biology. Abstracts submitted for awards are further reviewed for eligibility by judges aligned with those organizations. Editors and judges are professional biologists. Abstracts are published in Southeastern Biology.
POSTERS
Posters should fit within a 46" (Width) x 44" (Height) space.
Boards and thumbtacks will be provided to display your poster. There will be two posters to a board, so please do not exceed the maximum size as it will overlap neighboring posters.
Posters will be displayed for one day, but presenters will stand by their poster during an hour-long poster session. Odd-numbered posters will present in the morning and even-numbered posters will present in the afternoon on either Thursday or Friday.
Optional ePosters (required for awardees) are due March 9th. See instructions in your Presenter's Corner.
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Oral presentations should be 12 minutes long with ~3 minutes left for questions. Please leave time to switch to the next presenter within the 15 minutes; there is no space between talks.
Please prepare a PowerPoint talk that is compatible with Windows on a PC and bring a backup PDF. The computers in the rooms will not have audio and will not be connected to the internet.
Make plans to install your presentation on the desktop of your room’s computer in the morning of your talk; there will not be time immediately before your talk. You can upload your talk directly to the computer in the room via a USB drive. Make sure to give your file a unique identifier (e.g. LastName_ASB2022) to avoid losing it among the many entitled, “ASB 2022 talk” and the like. Switching computers is prohibited as this causes unnecessary delays and computer malfunctions.
LIGHTNING TALKS
A new, less formal format to share ideas and hypotheses, discuss novel experimental approaches, or present truly preliminary results. No more than 5, heart-pounding minutes and 3 slides to leave your mark, engage, and connect with others. This session will take place in the Exhibit Hall, in a new "theater" space.

ASB 2022 R.H. Plenary Speaker - Dr. Marla Spivak
Dr. Marla Spivak is a MacArthur Fellow and Distinguished McKnight Professor in Entomology at the University of Minnesota. Her research efforts focus on protecting and enhancing the health of honey bees, and on propagating floral rich landscapes to support all pollinators.
Spivak is interested in social insects in general, and honey bees specifically: social immunity, behaviors, breeding, and beekeeping on large and small scales. Her position is a 3-way split among research, teaching and extension, which allows breadth and freedom to explore basic mechanisms and/or real-world applications in our studies and educational endeavors.

About the R.H. Martin Plenary
Robert H. Martin, founder and owner of Martin Microscope Company from 1946 until his death in 2006, was an avid supporter of ASB and of the sciences in general. He supported ASB for decades as a Patron member and sponsor of the ASB Student Research Award, and, with his passing, his family established what has become the Robert H. Martin Plenary Address fund to help cover the costs of bringing in highly qualified speakers for the ASB annual meeting.

Why should your company or university exhibit with ASB in Little Rock?
This three-day event brings together approximately 800 biologists from across the southeastern United States. The meeting features a distinguished plenary speaker, special symposia, oral and poster presentations, workshops, networking and social events, and more. The Annual Meeting provides you with the exclusive opportunity to network with this large and important audience of faculty, students, researchers, conservation workers, military and government personnel, and business professionals with a common interest in biological issues. Interests are diverse, but range from genetics and molecular biology, to physiology and population biology, to community and ecosystem ecology. |
