Hi and welcome to the ISBE2014 conference!
We are using this landing page from now on to make any last minute announcements;
so please check in here first.
We are using this landing page from now on to make any last minute announcements;
so please check in here first.
*We have the latest version of the Program: this includes the talks & socials, poster sessions, the presenters' index, and the Updates/Corrections tab (which are the differences from what'll be in your printed brochure from your goodie bag). And here's the official conference abstract book. The password to open the PDF document is: isbe2014
*WEATHER ALERT!!! Sadly, it looks like summer thunderstorms (50% chance) are rolling through NYC on Thursdsay afternoon. We can't cancel our event/dinner/bookings at Central Park Zoo (rain or shine). So be careful, take an umbrella with you (unless there's lightning) and PLAN TO COME FIRST TO HUNTER COLLEGE NORTH BUILDING (69th Street East between Lexington and Park Avenues) @ 6PM onwards on Thursday 7/31.
There, at Hunter North, you may pick up your name tag and goodie bag (and travel awards), before heading to Central Park Zoo's Oxford University Press reception (starts at 6.30PM until 9PM). If you are running late and want to catch up with us at the Zoo first, feel free to find us there from 6.30-9PM, and after the reception, you can still come to Hunter College North Building, until 10PM on Thursday night, to pick up your tag, metro card, and the rest of your registration package. Or you can get your name tag and goodie bag on Friday morning, 8AM onwards at Hunter North. The scientific program begins there at 8.30AM!
Hunter College North (E69th between Lexington and Park Avenues) is only 4 blocks from the Zoo (@ E64th and Fifth Avenue/Central Park), just a 10 min walk along Park or Fifth Avenues! We will have signs, postings, and volunteers to explain these contingencies in situ both at Hunter and at the Zoo. See you soon!
Wondering where everything is? Check on the map for the localities here: http://tinyurl.com/lnhubvd or a PDF copy. And here is a chart about how to get from/to places using public transportation and your metro/bus card.
Are you heading to ABS after ISBE? Here's some info about what to do in between the conferences.
Would you like to be a session chair? We are looking for kind but punctual volunteers! Here's what to choose from (yellow highlights), please email us if you'd be interested.
The Program and the Index (but not the 300+ page abstract book) will be included in the printed hard copy of your conference brochure (pick it up with your goodie bag and name tag at the Zoo or at Hunter College).
Please remember, the talks are 12 min + 3 min: 15 min total. There will be an ISBE-traditional 5 min movement/break between each talk (hence the 20 min. slots for the talks on the program). Please make the talk file compatible with PC/Windows 7.0 machine with MS Powerpoint 2010; please also bring a back-up copy as a PDF file.
Is your talk ready? Upload it here: www.tinyurl.com/isbenyc You will also be able to pre-check check your talk on any of the Hunter networked PC computers throughout campus. You will need our dedicated NET-ID for WIFI and for Hunter desktops: isbe1 (all lower case) and PASSWORD (i.e., Hauber1$ but replace Hauber with the name of the the author of The Handicap Principle) to log into Hunter's network during the conference. We will provide a USB drive in your goodie bag!
*Also posted are the line-ups at NYU's Kimmel Center for the Poster Sessions! We ask that you mount your poster between 6 and 7PM on Friday, 8/1, if possible. If you're bringing your poster to Hunter College on Friday morning, we will provide you with a storage room (Kaye Storage: between North Assembly Hall and the Kaye Playhouse). Just make sure your name is on the poster tube!!
This is the USA--so please carry an official photo ID (US driver's license or passport) to gain access to any venue, including conference events, which might serve alcohol, no matter your age!
Where will you pick up your name tag and registration packet? Hunter College North Building (Thursday 6-10PM or daily from 8AM onwards on Friday, Saturday, Monday or Tuesday). Unfortunately, there is no more on-site registration or day-pass available because we are full, and so we also don't have space for non-registered accompanying persons, friends/family at the Zoo, the NYU poster sessions, or the Museum and Banquet events.
For accessing Hunter College, please use the Hunter North Entrance, 69th Street East, between Lexington and Park Avenues. There will be no registration available at NYU's Kimmel Hall/the poster sessions, so you must pick up your name tag at the Zoo or Hunter before coming to the Poster Session, please.
If you're an ISBE student/travel award recipient, you will receive your check AFTER you receive your name tag, at Hunter North. Ask for John or Celine, please (they'll have your check)! Please bring an official photo identification (driver's license or passport) to prove us that you are the recipient and you will need to sign for the check. If you don't have a US-bank account, we have asked for you to be able to cash your check at CHASE BANK, next to Hunter College, on the South-East corner of East 69th Street and Lexington Avenue (please tell them that you're with the ISBE Conference). You will need two forms of ID (passport/drivers license AND student card, credit card, etc) to identify yourself to cash these checks.
