Robert P. Hebbel DOM Research Day
22nd Annual Robert P Hebbel Research Day: Spring 2023
Research Day is designed to recognize and showcase the wide range of research in the Department by our investigators at all levels of training. It is an opportunity for departmental faculty to share ideas and knowledge while stimulating discussion about opportunities for future collaboration.
We look forward to an engaging and interactive live remote poster session for Hebbel Research Day. All those who submitted Abstracts are encouraged to present live over Zoom in a thematically-aligned breakout room that offers the opportunity for question, answer, and live exchange.
Those unable to attend the live session are welcome to pre-record their presentation, which will be posted on the Department of Medicine's website, allowing others to view and initiate subsequent interactions. Recordings of live presentations, with their Q&A sessions from the breakout rooms, will also be recorded and posted on the Department of Medicine website.
All presenters who are at the learner level:
- predoctoral student,
- PhD graduate student,
- postdoctoral resident/fellow
have the opportunity to compete for award recognition.
All learner presentations, both pre-recorded and live presentations (that will also be recorded), will be evaluated. All learner presentations will receive equal opportunity to compete, but note that only live presentations include Q&A, which can be a component of the evaluation.
While pre-recorded submissions will in no way be penalized in the evaluations process, responses of presenters to live questions could give some presenters a competitive advantage. For this reason, and more importantly, to encourage a robust and collegial exchange, we encourage a live presentation, if your schedule allows it.
Those submitting Abstracts only, without either a pre-recorded or a live-then-recorded presentation, will not be eligible for award consideration.
