NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS FOR RESEARCH DAY. Although the deadline to submit a poster or table clinic for the 11th annual Research Day is not till Feb. 14, everyone is welcome to register immediately, especially all the researchers who have already prepared their abstracts for the upcoming American Association for Dental Research meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

Scheduled for April 23, Research Day will be held for the first time at the School of Dentistry. Keynote speaker will be Kenneth Anusavice, DMD, PhD, associate dean for dental research at the University of Florida and incoming president of the AADR. Most of the posters and table clinics being entered in the awards competitions will be judged on the evening of April 22.

Registration materials are located at the INAADR link (Indiana Section of the AADR) on the Intranet's Explorer Launchpad. To register, you must send 3 items to Susan Crum: 1) an electronic copy of your abstract (prepared as a Microsoft Word document), sent either as an e-mail attachment (the preferred method) or on a disk or CD; 2) a hard copy of your research abstract, which has been carefully proofread by you (watch out for symbol conversion problems); and 3) the registration form, which you can download from the Website above or pick up from the Dean's Office, Library, or the Oral Health Research Institute. Registration forms from staff and students must bear the signature of their faculty mentor. Susan's campus mail address is Publications DS B32, and her e-mail is smcrum@iupui.edu.
