Description: Best Presentation Competition (In-person competition occurring at SOT). This will be awarded based on poster and oral presentations at SOT.
Eligibility Requirements: The scholar/associate must be a postdoctoral member of SOT and NTSS (or show evidence of application) and meet the SOT criteria for classification as a postdoctoral scholar/associate at the time of the Annual Meeting. Postdoctoral Scholars/Associates giving platform presentations at the Annual Meeting are also eligible if they prepare a poster summarizing their talk. Advisors or mentors who are not members are strongly encouraged to join NTSS.
