The Supercomputing and Life Sciences Symposium is 9 a.m. March 2 in the Wick Alumni Center.

Presenter and poster registration and general registration both close Feb. 28.

The symposium will feature experts from CyVerse, Internet2 and Center for the Advancement of Data and Research in Economics as well as researchers from across the University of Nebraska system.

Following the daylong symposium will be an evening reception and poster session featuring Nebraska’s Faculty Jazz Trio and a cash bar.

Posters covering research relevant to the QLSI mission and/or benefiting from advance computing (e.g. use of HCC, the Open Science Grid or XSEDE resources) will be displayed.

While this session is open to anyone with relevant research, current graduate students are strongly encouraged to participate.

Top presenters will be chosen based on the quality of research and their use of HCC services and/or application of Big Data in Life Sciences.

Prizes will be presented based on attendee votes and include the grand prize of a new Dell Workstation. Only graduate students are eligible for the grand prize.

Additional prizes include gift cards and increased priority for HCC shared computing resources.
