ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INFORMATION:
All oral papers will be 20 minutes (15 min for presentation
and 5 minutes for questions and discussion). Posters should be legible
from a distance of at least 4 feet.
Pre-registration and payment must accompany an
abstract. Please check the appropriate space for oral talk or poster
on the registration form. Abstracts are required for both oral papers
and poster papers (see instructions below). Abstracts will be
compiled in a booklet form for all registrants. Note that the deadline
for receipt (not postmark!) of the abstracts is September 3,
1997. Direct ALL inquiries to: Dr. Jennifer Basil, (508) 289-7506,
basil at acs.bu.edu. No FAXED or LATE abstracts will be accepted
Instructions for preparing an abstract: All portions of the
abstract must be typed entirely within a 3" x 7" rectangle, such as
the one below. Single space, leaving no top or left margins. Use a
minimum of 10 pt type. Please send (1) two hard copies and (2) the
identically formatted abstract on a 3.5" IBM-compatible disk, with
your name, the title of your paper clearly printed on the label. Your
abstract(s) should be saved to this disk as an MS-Word for Windows
v.6.0 or lower file, or a flat ascii text file.
A good abstract accomplishes several objectives. First, it
gives the purpose of your research so that others not familiar with
your area of research will understand why you did what you did and be
able to put your work into a broader context. Second, your methods are
briefly summarized. Third, your key findings are provided. Finally,
your conclusions and ideas about their implications are presented. The
abstract is the only exposure that many people, including NERAB
participants in other session, will have to your work. Make it as
informative as you can.
ACCOMODATIONS AND MEALS
Housing is available at Swope Conference Center, right on the
Marine Biological Laboratory campus (see housing forms). There are
also a number of hotels within walking distance of the Marine
Biological Laboratory (Sands of Time: (508) 548-6300; Nautilus Motor
Inn: (508) 548-1525; Sleepy Hollow Motor Inn: (508) 548-1986). A bit
further out in Falmouth (you'll need a car) are the Quality Inn (508)
540-2000, and Admirality Inn (508) 548-4240.
Meals will be available at the Swope Conference Center (see
housing forms) but you must register for the meal plan in advance to
receive the meeting rates. In addition, there are also a number of
restaurants in Woods Hole that, of course, serve seafood, but they
also serve vegetarian food, burgers, etc. There is also a great pub
in town, the Captain Kidd.

TRAVEL INFORMATION
Car: See attached maps and instructions. Parking areas are
outside the Swope center, where participants can be house and meals
are served (see attached map of the Marine Biological
Laboratory). Parking is free in MBL lots for participants, and permits
can be picked up with housing materials.
Air: Woods Hole is approximately 1.75 hours from Boston (Logan
Airport) and 1.5 hours from Providence, RI (T.F. Greene
Airport). There is regular bus service directly from Logan to Woods
Hole via Bonanza Buslines. There are also small flights from Boston
and Providence to Hyannis airport, 25 miles from Woods Hole. If you
fly to the meeting, we suggest taking the Bonanza Bus to and from
Logan. It is convenient (they take you right to your terminal) and
costs about $22.00 for a round-trip ticket to Woods Hole.

South. Follow Route 495 to the Bourne Bridge (It becomes route
25 two exits before the bridge).
From the South: Take Interstate 95 North to Interstate 195 East. At
the end of Interstate 195 take Route 25 East to the Bourne
Bridge (do not take 495 North).

your first right (if you don't count parking lots) will be MBL St.
The Swope center is at the end of the street. Park along MBL street
(metered) and enter the Swope. At the front desk you can ask for a
parking pass and directions to the appropriate parking lot. Meeting
registration will be handled in the Swope on Friday Evening. Later
