* Student Presenter
# Presentation includes citizen science content
This year’s poster sessions will be “slam sessions,” where each author gets 1 minute to “tease or sell” the contents of their poster while the poster is displayed on screen. We will then have break-out sessions for attendees that have specific questions for a poster presenter.
