> WIST together with the Leadership Computing Facility will host the Margaret Butler Celebration of Women in Computational Science and Nuclear Engineering at Argonne Thursday, June 11, 2015, at the Building 240 TCS Conference Center. The Celebration will include an afternoon seminar by Dona Crawford, Associate Director for Computation, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory followed by a Poster Session.
>
> We are currently soliciting poster submissions and invite all employees including those from the postdoctoral and Argonne Scholar community with research in computational science and nuclear engineering to be a part of the poster session. The session will provide a professional development opportunity for scientists and engineers to present their research in an informal and collaborative setting.
>
> To be considered for the poster session, please submit an abstract of 250 words or less that describes your research topic using the online submission form. Posters presented at previous conferences are invited to participate. Posters will be selected on the basis of technical content and relevance to the areas of computational science and nuclear engineering.
