Student/Postdoctoral Fellow Platform Session

Discover more about the research of other students and postdoctoral fellows. Support your colleagues at the platform session on Thursday, June 25. The two best presentations in this session will be selected to receive a Wilson Presentation Award of $500.


James C. Bradford Memorial Student Poster Award

The James C. Bradford Memorial Student Poster Award is jointly sponsored by the Middle Atlantic Reproduction and Teratology Association (MARTA) and Sanofi. This award recognizes the best poster presentation by a student or postdoctoral fellow at the BDRP annual meeting. Students and postdoctoral fellows whose abstracts are submitted by the February 15 deadline and are accepted for poster presentation are automatically considered for this award. The recipients of this award will be announced during the closing session.

Networking Opportunities

The virtual meeting platform will provide attendees with the opportunity to upload their picture and create a profile to connect directly with other attendees. Additionally, two Zoom-based social events are planned:

  • On Thursday, June 25 from 3:15 to 4:30 pm Eastern (US), join the Society’s President and Past Presidents for the Presidents’ Welcome Reception Zoom Social. Attendees will be shuffled through several small groups to catch up and make plans to connect one-on-one.
  • On Wednesday, July 1 from 12:00 to 12:30 pm Eastern (US), break out your favorite mug as we gather again to celebrate the Society’s 60th Anniversary during the Warkany Tea.

Make sure to use your smartphone or a computer outfitted with a webcam and microphone for these special events!


Become More Involved

The Society encourages graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to become more involved through service on a committee. If you are interested in being part of a committee, please contact Society headquarters.
