Poster/Lightning Talk: http://bit.ly/rlel-wids2019
In addition to attending, you have two other ways to participate via a lightning talk and/or poster presentation.
We invite women and underrepresented gender minorities to apply for poster/lightning talk presentations. The gender criterion applies only to presenting authors, not other co-authors. Faculty/staff, postdocs, graduate and undergraduate researchers are especially invited to apply.

See Poster/Lightning Talk guidelines here
