Harassment, discrimination, or exclusionary behavior by any participant will not be tolerated. Harassment includes unwanted verbal attention, intimidation, stalking, shaming, or bullying. Unacceptable behaviors also include inappropriate comments presented in a joking manner, retaliation for reporting inappropriate behavior, and reporting an incident in bad faith.

Anyone violating the code of conduct may be asked to stop, experience limited participation (e.g., muted microphone or blocked video), expelled from the meeting, and/or prohibited from attending future events. Establishing and enforcing this code of conduct is intended to create a welcoming, inclusive environment for high quality scientific discussions.

Social Media Policy

If given permission by the presenter, talks will be recorded and made available online. Live tweeting of presentations is allowed unless the presenter explicitly opts out by stating so at the start of their talk or on their poster. Recording or photographing talks, posters or any content without author permission is not allowed.

Presenter Guidelines

Below are the instructions for talks and posters. Detailed instructions for accessing your zoom session will come in a separate e-mail. All presenters will need to join our slack workspace (glamevogen.slack.com) to upload and view posters, and answer questions.

Speakers

Please be prepared to present at any time during your session in case we need to go out of order for any reason. You will have 12 minutes to give your presentation and 3 minutes to answer questions. Your session moderator will let you know when you are almost out of time. After you are finished with your slides, your moderator will read questions from participants until your 15 minutes are up. The rest of the questions will be posted to slack under your session channel (e.g. #talks_mon2021).

Please use your own computer to give your talk. When your moderator announces that it is your turn, you will share your screen. When your talk is over, stop sharing your screen. Please keep your microphone muted when you are not presenting. Plan to log on to your session 10 minutes before it starts. Make sure that you install the zoom client and test your microphone and the screen share feature well ahead of your session here: https://zoom.us/test.

Poster Presenters

Please upload a pdf of your poster to your channel on Slack (e.g. #poster2021_yourname) by the start of the conference on Monday morning. Your poster should not exceed 15 MB. Participants can ask you questions in your slack channel or at the live poster session on Friday Aug 6.

Lightning Talks

All lightning talk presenters are limited to 1 slide without animations. You will have 2 minutes to present your slide. There will be no time during the session to address questions from participants, all questions should be addressed in your slack channel. Please be ready to present at any time during your session. You must send a pdf of your slide to alarracu@bio.rochester.edu by 3pm on the day before your session. Please name your slide with your last name, day of presentation, and start time of your lightning slot. Your slide will be combined with the other lightning talk slides into a single presentation and the moderator will share their screen to show the slides. When it is your turn, unmute your microphone and give your presentation.

Internet Connection

Using a wired connection is best but wifi should not be a problem. Your connection speed should be at least 2 Mbps upload, 4 Mbps download. Test your internet connection speed here: https://www.speedtest.net/.
