BWIB / BCBB Joint Lightning Talk event sponsored by CDD

We are thrilled to host a joint lightning talk event with the Boston-area Women in Bioinformatics (BWIB) meetup group, sponsored by Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD)!

For BCBB, this event will be our first return to the Microsoft New England Research & Development (NERD) Center in five years!

Time and location:

• Thursday, April 10, 2025 6pm-8pm
• Microsoft NERD Center, Cambridge MA
• Registrations CLOSED at 5pm Tues April 2, 2025 final attendee list is now frozen

We have a limited capacity at NERD, so all lightning talks must be from people who have registered for the event.

Lightning talk submissions are CLOSED and acceptances have been emailed.

Late submissions may be considered in special circumstances, email abstracts@bostoncbb.org. You must already be on the final attendee list.

Lightning talks are a great opportunity to talk about your current work, your previous work, a useful tool or concept, or just to practice public speaking among friends.

Here are some general ground rules for abstracts:

1. All of our members are welcome to submit abstracts. Academia, industry, government, non-profit: all are welcome to present.
2. We're looking for general interest presentations, not product pitches. If your work revolves around a particular platform and you used it for an interesting application that revealed novel scientific endpoints, that's okay. But in that case let's focus on the science, not the platform.
3. Talks are should be 5 minutes each. (The organizers reserve the right to alter the 5 minute criteria up or down by a few minutes depending on how many abstracts we receive).

📢📢📢 VERY IMPORTANT -- The Microsoft NERD Center requires that we give them a list with attendees' FULL NAMES. So please update your meetup profile to make sure it lists your full first and last name as used on a government-issued ID (you will also need to bring that ID). Please also try and arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow time to go through security.
