ASM Student Poster Judges

Organizer:

John Vande Castle

The ASM student poster judges will each review a subset of all student posters. Judges may review posters from their own site (scores will be scrutinized and should be justified if a high score is given), although they can NOT judge their own or co-authored posters. Judges are free to declare a COI for any reason (if they are uncomfortable reviewing a poster from their site, a friend, relative etc.).

In particular, as climate change, biofuels, and biodiversity are increasingly on the legislative agenda, the scientifically-based opinions of ecologists and environmental biologists is more relevant than ever.
