Lightning talks:  

VOTING FOR LIGHTNING TALKS WILL HAPPEN  HERE!.

There will be two sessions of lightning talks.  Lightning talks are short talks (generally 3-5 minutes -- the length will be determined by the number of participants) used to highlight the most interesting features or findings of your current research.  These talks can advertise your work, give you an opening for a discussion with someone later in the meeting, or even open the door to a new collaboration.  The May 26 talks will focus on new researchers (students or < 5 years post-PhD); to participate please visit this site.  The May 27 talks will be open to all conference participants; to participate please visit this site. ***Lightning talks will be used to determine next year's Tom Ten Have awardees!***
