Abstract Titles
We strongly encourage authors to carefully compose an informative title - including, e.g., topic, system, species and possibly the key result. This is because many conference participants will rely on the title when choosing to attend talks/posters. Abstracts will be available for downloading from the web site, but an abstract book will not be printed.
