Postdoctoral, graduate and undergraduate students are invited to present posters at the 2011 meeting of the Biological Stain Commission. The topics must be in the area of microRNA or post-transcriptional processing of genetic information in cancer. The deadline for abstracts is February 28, 2011. Awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be $500, $300 and $200 and free participation in the annual dinner of the BSC on Friday night. Poster presenters will receive free admission to the scientific program. The abstracts of these posters judged most worthy of publication will be published in a special issue of Biotechnic & Histochemistry focused on microRNA and may be chosen to participate in a 15-minute panel discussion at the end of the scientific presentation.
