Abstract Information

To Submit an abstract, please click here.

Abstracts are due Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Abstracts will appear on the Web and in the program and abstracts volume exactly as submitted, i.e., no corrections, additions, revisions or deletions will be made. Only the submitting author may make revisions and corrections via the Web abstract submission program. The organizing committee cannot make revisions. All revisions must be made no later than the revision deadline on Monday, June 2, 2008. Please proof your text carefully before submitting.

Because platform presentation requests far exceed platform presentation slots, authors should be prepared to present a poster if their abstract is not selected for a platform presentation.

Deadline for Receipt of Abstracts

To submit an abstract, follow the instructions for Web submission. Submissions must be completed before midnight on Monday, June 2, 2008.

Shortly before the abstract assignment Web site opens around Monday, July 21, 2008, authors will be sent an e-mail reminder to check the Conference Web site for platform and poster assignments. Individual notification letters will not be sent. It is the responsibility of each author to check the Web site to ascertain the assignment to poster or platform presentation.

Instructions for Submitting Abstracts

STEP 1: Select Poster or Oral presentation.

STEP 2: Select a session topic area (01-7) from the following list. Select the area that best defines the session in which you would like to be included. Insert the number in the appropriate field on the Web abstract submission form.

01 Aging

02 Age-Related Disease

03 Environmental Stress

04 Pathogenesis

05 Heterochronic Genes

06 Dauer Development

07 Teaching

STEP 3: Select a keyword from the keyword list on the following page and enter it in the appropriate place on the Web abstract submission form. You may choose only a keyword listed under the same number as the number of the session topic area you select from the above list. Do not use a keyword from another session topic area.

If you do not see a keyword that is appropriate for your abstract under the session topic you chose, please choose "other" as a keyword and fill in a keyword that fits your research best.

Posters will be grouped by the eleven session topic areas listed above. Within these topics, posters will be ordered by keywords, in an effort to group related abstracts together within session topic areas.

Platform session topic areas will adhere as closely as possible to the session topic areas above, but are subject to modification based on the relative distribution of specific research areas in the pool of submitted abstracts.
