parking

Please go to the Holliston Parking Structure and obtain a permit. Park only in spaces that do not have a marked name on the cement slab at the head of the parking space (a slab with just a number is OK). Most parking on the streets surrounding Caltech is for two hours only (enforced!), so we recommend you find a day-long spot in any of the campus parking lots.

We have a limited number of travel grants for students and postdoctoral scholars interested in presenting posters. These will be awarded on a competitive basis. If you would like to apply for one of these, please send your half-page poster abstract, contact information, and a brief letter of recommendation from your faculty advisor directly to dnaworld@caltech.edu. Earlier applications will be given precendence.
