IMAGE and MOVIE SUBMISSION

Young scientists are encouraged to send in scientific images and movies for on-site contest.
INSTRUCTION for AUTHORS

Scope

In this symposium, we will not be holding a conventional poster session. Instead, we will be accepting submissions of digital data (images or movies). Digital data can include a wide range of biological perspectives, and also cross-disciplinary themes that combine biology with other fields such as physics, optics and systems biology.

The images and movies to be submitted should have one the following features:
- Scientific impact
- Visual impact
- Artistic impact (Artistic manipulation of the data is permitted, provided that the authors disclose what was done in the legend)

The submitted images and movies will be voted on and awarded for each of the categories above during the symposium.


Deadline

Submission deadline: Friday, June 24, 2011
