Poster Presentation
Posters have been a longstanding tradition at MLSS, and each participant is required to present their poster in person. The content of the poster does not necessarily have to be from published work, as ongoing projects or work resulting from undergraduate projects are also acceptable. While the day program covers a range of topics of general interest, the poster sessions provide an opportunity for participants to engage with their peers and discuss their own research. The poster presentations will be informal and relaxed.
