Authors are encouraged to present their subject matter with clear
questions, research methods and outcomes. Presentations are allotted
20 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes for questions and
discussion. Presenters need not be current CSSN members to submit an
abstract but must be CSSN members at the time of the presentation.
