Southeast Regional Meeting (SE-rSICB)
Clemson University’s Department of Biological Sciences is excited to host the 2025 Southeast Regional Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology meeting, now in its 19th year. We are excited to welcome presentations by students, postdocs, and faculty from across all SICB’s divisions while continuing SE-rSICB’s traditional strengths in vertebrate morphology and comparative biomechanics. We’re looking forward to a constructive and energizing meeting and hope to see you in October!

Presentation formats
All presentations will be held in or around G-33 Jordan Hall.
Lightning talks: Final talk duration will be set when we compile the program but expect somewhere in the five- to eight-minute range plus one to two minutes for questions. We will have a podium PC running Windows and the Microsoft Office suite. To use this computer, please bring a flash drive from which we can copy your file to show on our projector. Our podium also has HDMI and VGA connections, if you would like to present from your own laptop. We’ll try to help make sure this works but may need some flexibility if difficulties come up.
Posters: Please print your posters no larger than 3 feet by 4 feet (portrait or landscape is OK) and trim if necessary. Easels and clips will be provided. If the weather cooperates, we will try to set up on an outdoor patio near the location of the talks.
