The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is providing an opportunity for students to present their work in poster sessions at its annual meeting in Chicago February 13-17, 2014 (http://meetings.aaas.org/). Full-time undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply; if selected to present a poster, students will be able to have the meeting registration fee waived by serving as AAAS Meeting Session Aides and will be eligible to apply for travel funding.  Details are in the attached flyer; the deadline for submission of poster abstracts is October 24, 2013.

Students and their advisors are urged to take advantage of this unique opportunity to highlight statistical research and its role in interdisciplinary science at the annual meeting of the world’s largest general scientific society.  AAAS publishes the highly respected journal Science and is organized into 24 Sections representing all areas of science, including Section U (Statistics), which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year.

Thank you for your help.
