To participate in the poster session, contact Dr. Jean Swank. There is no charge for attending the conference; anyone with a regular or visitor Goddard badge, or US citizenship may come. We regret that there is now insufficient time to arrange visitor badges for non-US citizens, if you have not already done so.
To attend:
-
Attendence is free, but please RSVP to one of the below. Give your name
