Oral Presentations
Each platform paper, except for those presented in the symposia, will be allowed 15 minutes (12 minutes for presentations and 3 minutes for discussion). The time schedule will be strictly followed. Projectors for 35 mm slides will be available in each meeting room. Please keep slides simple and uncluttered.

A good rule of thumb is, if you cannot read your slide without magnification, those in the middle and rear of the room will be unable to read it when presented. One concept per slide and a maximum rate of one slide per minute, are also good rules to follow for effective presentations.

Poster Presentations
Poster material should be organized within a 4 ft. x 8 ft. area. The top of your poster board should contain the following information, with letters at least 3/4 inches high:

1. Your poster number
2. Title
3. Authors
4. Affiliations

A copy of the abstract should be posted towards the upper-left corner, and a set of conclusions toward the lower- right corner of your poster. These should be printed in letters about 1/4 inch high. Poster information should be legible from a distance of at least 3 to 4 feet. Material, including line drawings, should be clearly presented and may be computer generated (laser printer is preferable). PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PUSH-PINS. Poster sessions and times for setup and removal are indicated in the Program.

Posters should be on display from 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM on Monday, June 26, or 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM on Tuesday, June 27. Those presenting should plan to be present on Monday or Tuesday evenings from 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM. All posters should be removed immediately following the poster session at which you presented (10:00 PM).

The Teratology Society thanks the following organizations for their participation as exhibitors at the 2002 Annual Meeting.
