Here's a tip

I've just finished printing off and reading the 20-plus abstracts I received for my panel, and I want to offer some tips to any of my readers who may be submitting an abstract in the future.

  • put your name and your email address on the abstract
  • single space the abstract
  • give the paper a title
  • and, finally, PROOFREAD!
Seriously, you'd think full profs at fairly well known and well respected institutions would make sure they don't send off an abstract with typos and misspellings in it. . .
