least .75 inches.
c) Abstract should include Title, authors, addresses; follow with text.

constraints it is likely that only 1 of 4 people can give talks.
Electronic submission of abstracts:
In addition to your hard copy abstract we request that you submit your
abstract electronically in one of the following two ways. This will enable
everyone in the worm community to know what will be presented at the area
worm meetings. In addition, attendees will be able to be fully familiar
with the information to be presented to get as much out of the meeting as
possible.
To submit via WWW, e.g. Mosaic or Netscape (recommended):
1. Open the URL http://eatworms.swmed.edu/
2. Click on C. elegans Meetings
3. Click on East Coast Meeting Abstract Submission and follow the
instructions that appear.
You may submit either plain ASCII text or formatted abstracts in HTML.
To submit via e-mail (if you don't have access to WWW):
1. The abstract must come as the body of an e-mail message.
2. Text should be ASCII only. Do not include any formatting: no italics,
underline, subscripts, superscripts, symbols, accented characters, etc.
3. Limit line length to 72 characters. If you are using a word processor,
set the margins six inches apart and use 10-point Courier type.
4. Begin with the title, followed by a single blank line, followed by the
list of authors--one per line, followed by a blank line, then the
addresses, then another blank line, then the text.
5. If authors are at different addresses, identify each author with the
appropriate address by placing a number in square brackets after the
author's name and before the address, as diagrammed on the back of this
page.
Model template for e-mail submission:
{Title}
{First Author}[l]

{Text. The text may contain additional blank lines.}
6. Send the abstracts to ecwmsubmit@eatworms.swmed.edu. Please include the
subject line "ECWM abstract". An acknowledgment will be e-mailed to you
soon after submission. Carefully examine your abstract as it appears
in the acknowledgment since this is exactly how it will appear on the
WWW.

please do not include a cover note. If you need personal attention or
have questions send a separate message to ecwmhelp@eatworms.swmed.edu.
