Deadline: Wednesday, February 28, 2007
All late breaking abstract submissions will be presented as poster sessions on Wednesday, May 2, 2007 (the last day of the meeting).
Abstracts: All abstracts must be submitted
electronically. Please review the
Rules and Guidelines before
submitting your abstract. Each
abstract should contain a sentence
stating the study objective (unless
given in the title); a brief
statement of methods, if pertinent;
a summary of the results obtained;
and a statement of the conclusions.
It is not satisfactory to say "the
results will be discussed." Use a
short, specific title with
upper and lower case letters. Do not
put a period at the end of the
abstract title. Capitalize initial
letters of trade names. Use standard
abbreviations for units of measure.
Other abbreviations should be
spelled out in full at first
mention, followed by the
abbreviation in parentheses.
Exceptions: DNA, RNA, etc. Include
the source of research support on
the bottom line of the abstract. The topic that you select from the
topic category list determines which
society receives and programs your
abstract. Therefore, it is important
that you review the society topic
categories before submitting your
abstract at
www.eb2007.org. Please follow
the instructions below.
Remember which
society is programming your abstract
-
Your abstract will be received and programmed by the society (discipline) which lists your topic choice (not the society to which the abstract sponsor belongs).
-
Each society uses a different
programming method your abstract
may go to a program committee or
to a session chair.
-
Knowing which society is
programming your abstract makes
follow-up easier. Please keep a
record of this for your files.

Upload Your Abstract by
Submitting a Word Processor File -
It is faster to submit a Word
Processor File! If your abstract
contains tables, graphics or
figures, you must use this option.
Use the browse button to select your
abstract. Upload a Microsoft Word
document (preferred) or ASCII
file containing just the body of the
abstract. DO NOT include the title,
author, co-authors or affiliations
in the space. Before you continue
you must preview your abstract. A
separate window will appear showing
you the abstract, title, author,
co-authors and body of the abstract.
Close this window before continuing.
Entering Your Abstract on the
Submission Site Select this option
if the abstract contains only text,
Greek characters, math symbols, and
super/subscripts. You can also cut
and paste a word processing
document. Use the Special Characters
toolbar on the screen for special
symbols. Special characters are
inserted at the end of the text. You
then cut and paste them to move them
where needed. Enter the text of the
abstract in the space provided.
Italics, bold, sub- and superscript
tags should surround text to be
formatted e.g., <I>protein</I>.
DO NOT include the title,
author, coauthors, or affiliations
in the space. These will
automatically be included in the
abstract from the information
previously entered. Before you
continue you must preview your
abstract. A separate window will
come up showing you the abstract,
title, author, co-authors and body
of the abstract.
Close this window before continuing.

This is a
sample for the abstract
body.

the abstract title, author
and co-authors again in this
space. This is only for the
body of your abstract. Your
abstract body must have a
minimum of 100 characters
and maximum of 1220
characters. The title,
author, co-authors will be
included on the final
abstract from information
that you previously entered.

affiliations and body of the

1620 characters excluding
spaces. If your abstract
exceeds 1620 characters you
