Poster Competition
Poster Competition
PLEASE NOTE: Poster abstract submission is now closed.
The top 20 abstracts in each category (see below) will be invited to present their poster at this year's Poster Session and Networking Lunch (Noon-1:15pm, Purina Pavilion). The top presenters in each category will go home with a monetary prize.
Submissions must include:
- Completed registration for the Purdue University Plant Science Symposium
- Poster Title
- Presenting Author and Affiliations
- All other authors and affiliations
- 250-word Abstract
Categories
Digital Science
The theme for this year's seminar is centered around ‘computers moving plant science forward'. Therefore, we would like to encourage posters or projects focused on computer influence on plant science. This category will cover topics such as precision agriculture, big data, phenotyping, bioinformatics, AI, and more.
General Science
Though the theme of the seminar is focused on computers, we would also like to encourage participants outside of the digital space to submit their posters and projects. Any projects that involve few or no digital components will be covered by this category.
