Hello all,

 

For those of you interested in the Marine Mammal Genomics II workshop to be held immediately prior to the upcoming SMM Biennial, we would like to make you aware that the date has been changed to Saturday, Dec. 12 (in an attempt to avoid conflicts with other molecular-focused workshops).  To supplement conference presentations, this workshop will offer an opportunity for researchers to present not only their latest results and findings, but also to share experiences on the successes and pitfalls of using genomic techniques that can benefit the research community.

We are still accepting abstracts for workshop talks.  If you are interested in presenting, please send an abstract (no more than 300 words) by email to Andy Foote (footead@gmail.com) and myself (kristina.cammen@maine.edu) by August 5. Students are encouraged to apply. The workshop schedule will include slots for both 30-minute and 10-minute talks, so please indicate in your abstract submission which talk length you would prefer.

 

Remember to register for the workshop prior to Sept. 15, 2015 to be eligible for the early registration fee of US$80 for a full-day workshop; beginning Sept. 16, 2015 fees will increase to US$90. To sign up for the workshop, visit the conference registration site: https://www.marinemammalscience.org/conference/conference-registration/.

 

We look forward to seeing many of you in San Francisco!
