Application deadline: Friday, August 21

The Management Board of the Journal of Biocommunication invites students, recent graduates, researchers, and educators to present their work during our inaugural JBC Research Stub Session.

Presenters will give a brief 5–7-minute talk highlighting the purpose, methods, visual deliverable, key findings, and significance of a research project relevant to biocommunication. Completed, recently completed, and ongoing projects are welcome.

Graduate students and recent graduates are especially encouraged to apply. Presentations can be easily adapted from your thesis, dissertation, or capstone defense slides, providing an opportunity to share your work with the broader biocommunication community.

Presenters may also have the opportunity to develop their work into a research stub for publication consideration in theJournal of Biocommunication.

The event will be divided into three one-hour sessions. Presenters will receive a specific presentation time and are not required to attend the full three-hour event, although attendance is encouraged.
