Research Day is designed to showcase the research of UAB postdoctoral scholars and to promote networking and collaboration among trainees. We invite our postdocs to submit an abstract for either a 12 min Research Talk, or a 3 min Data Blitz presentation.

Abstract Submission 

Abstracts should be 250 words or less (not including headings) and have the subheadings of: background, methods, results, and conclusion. Authors with accepted abstracts will present the content in a 12-minute oral presentation followed by 3 minutes of questions from judges and the audience. Presentations will take place in person and will be judged on the presenters' ability to accurately communicate their ideas and findings, their overall understanding of the topic, and their ability to answer questions. Presented data must be from your current position as a UAB postdoctoral scholar. Call for abstracts will be announced via email and Teams in January 2025. 

Data Blitz

Are you a new postdoc or do not yet have enough data for a 12-min presentation? Consider submitting a 100-word project summary to present during our Data Blitz! Presentations will be 3-minutes long and you will be limited to a single static PowerPoint slide that details a new study idea, method, or preliminary data. The Data Blitz will be judged by a panel comprised of faculty and fellow postdocs. Presented ideas must be from your current position as a UAB postdoctoral scholar. Call for abstracts will be announced via email and Teams in January 2025.
