The following gives the program for this year's ALS Conference.
Clicking on the title of any paper below will take you to the abstract for
that paper; to see all abstracts,
visit the abstracts page. Please note that the abstracts will not be distributed to
participants, although copies will be available at the registration desk for
viewing. If you wish to have a copy of the abstracts for your own
consultation during the Conference, we strongly advise you to print a copy out.
Basically, we wanted to save a few trees, and know that many people do not
want an entire book of abstracts.
