2020 Virtual Poster Session
This years poster session is open to the greater Johns Hopkins community, including the University, Hospital, Healthcare, Space Telescope, APL, and Peabody student community… via Zoom!
For our virtual symposium this year, we will be hosting the poster session during the lunch break.
Our online format will allow you to present your screen (poster) just as you would in person.
We will be holding smaller Breakout Groups to allow for further questions and discussions – similar to how a poster session would function on campus.
