Saturday, November 19, 2011
Hobart and William Smith Colleges Scandling Center Vandervort Room, Geneva, NY
The Finger Lakes Institute hosted the 7th Annual Finger Lakes Research Conference on the campus of Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY. The annual conference highlights Finger Lakes scientific research and provides opportunities to meet others interested in environmental science and scholarship, particularly as they apply to issues related to the Finger Lakes of western and central New York State. Members of the general public, independent scientists, students, and educators were encouraged to attend as well as submit abstracts for poster or oral presentation in the agenda. $100 prizes were awarded to the best student (undergraduate or graduate) oral and poster presentations.
Conference coordinators announced a new agenda in 2011 which included a keynote speaker, panel discussion, and more time for interaction and networking amongst speakers and attendees. Both 15-minute oral presentations and poster displays were scheduled during the day-long conference. Presentations were either: 1) results of ongoing or completed research, or 2) research plans and proposals.
