Conferences we attend

Conferences are a great way to grow your research network and also keep up with the latest methods and findings. Here are some conferences members of the lab or collaborators routinely attend and links to the corresponding website. Check this periodicaly to make sure deadlines are not missed!

SMBE

"The Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution is an international organization whose goals are to provide facilities for association and communication among molecular evolutionists and to further the goals of molecular evolution, as well as its practitioners and teachers.The Society sponsors an annual meeting, as well as smaller satellite meetings or workshop on important, focused, and timely topics. It also confers honors and awards to students and researchers."

This conference is typically held in early July each year.

Evolution

"The Evolution conference is the joint annual meeting of the American Society of Naturalists, the Society for the Study of Evolution, and the Society of Systematic Biologists. The meeting is one of the premiere opportunities for sharing research on evolutionary biology each year."

This conference is typically held in late June or early July each year.

SICB

"The mission of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) is to foster research, education, public awareness and understanding of living organisms from molecules and cells to ecology and evolution. SICB encourages interdisciplinary cooperative research that integrates across scales, and new models and methodologies to enhance research and education. "

This conference is typically held in early January each year.
