The competition will be held Sunday, March 5, during the 2023 Annual Meeting in Aurora, Colorado. Based upon scores awarded in the judging of abstracts submitted for the AASV Student Seminar, the top 15 poster abstracts have been chosen for judging from those selected for poster presentation at the meeting.
