Senior authors with the highest talk rate

Senior (last) authors whose abstracts most consistently became talks.

Sorted by the lower end of the 95% Wilson interval, so 5 of 6 comes before 2 of 2. Within a year the same person is the same first + last name (plus a shared institution for common surnames).

Not a measure of anyone's work. This is how often abstracts with a given last author became talks. The last author is usually, but not always, the senior author (co-senior authors, consortia and field conventions differ), and the rate reflects a group's submissions and poster requests. Names are matched automatically, so one person can be split in two or two people merged. The intervals overlap heavily, so the order within a list means little.

All years · 2022–2026

Senior authors with at least 5 abstracts over all years. The 2022–2024 booklets give only initials, so across years the same person is the same first initial + last name; for common surnames they must also share an institution, and two different spelled-out first names (2025–2026) are kept apart.
