    AAG accepts all abstracts and so, to ensure that you get the fullest exposure, remember to sign up for an organized session. You would get word of these sessions by joining as an AAG member, followed by signing up for a specialty group most relevant to your interest. These interest groups have mailing lists or listservs which will send out regular information of these sessions. You can also search for them on the conference database. You can learn more about joining as an AAG member here.

    The department always has quite a few number of faculty and grad students attending AAG. If you are attending AAG, please leave a comment to this post to indicate your attendance. That way, those attending could better find travel and lodging companions. Thanks!
