Media Advisory 2: Fall Meeting: Abstracts, press conferences, press re...( Finding Abstracts of Interest to You ...)

Reporters and public information officers may search for abstracts of particular interest to them, by looking up the:

Name of a scientist
Name of an institution (e.g., university, government agency)
Geographic location (e.g., city, state, or country)
Topic (e.g., volcano, Io, erosion)

Note: If searching for papers from a particular institution, it is often more effective to search by e-mail address, rather than the name of the institution. The latter may be written in different ways by various authors (e.g., UCLA, University of California Los Angeles, Univ. of Cal. at Los Angeles, etc.), but all of their e-mail addresses will include "ucla." The search key word "Affiliation" covers both names of institutions and their locations (e.g., look for either University of Arizona or Tucson under Affiliation).

2. Press conferences (Preliminary)

We are in the process of developing a range of press conferences on scientific advances being reported at Fall Meeting. As always, the press conferences only scratch the surface of the thousands of newsworthy oral and poster presentations, and reporters who comb through the abstracts are almost guaranteed to find exciting sessions that will be, essentially, exclusives.

Following are some of the press conference topics currently under consideration. They are, of course, subject to change. A detailed press conference list, including dates, times, and participants, will be included in a subsequent advisory.
