This is the last
announcement for the full day workshop Lost in Translation: The Science-Policy
Intersect on Sunday, October 11, 2009 to be held in association with the
SMM’s 18th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine
Mammals in Quebec City, Canada.
Lost in
Translation: The Science-Policy Intersect
This workshop will address
questions regarding whether, when, and how scientists should become involved in
the policy arena. After presentations by scientists and a legal expert
experienced in working with marine conservation policy issues, the workshop
will break into moderated open discussion for the afternoon. Please see the
full synopsis for the workshop on the SMM conference web site.
Our speakers will be Dr. Naomi Rose,
Andrew Wright, Dr. Lance Barrett-Lenard, Dr. Tim Ragen, and Dr. Howard
Schiffman. The full program will be sent to registered participants
at least one week before the workshop.
To register for this
workshop, please go to the SMM web site at:

The workshop will take place on Sunday, October 11, 2009 from 8:30am to 5:30pm
in Room 207.
There will be
a registration fee of $35.00US, which will include breakfast (starting
at 8am) and coffee breaks – payment (cash or check in US currency) will
be collected at the door. Given the large number of workshops being offered at
this biennial, if you can attend for only a half-day (no breakfast), we will
charge a half-day fee of $10.00US.
We have been
fortunate to secure a small amount of funding and can now offer student members
a discount of $5US on the full-day fee. Student registration for the
workshop is therefore $30US. Depending on various factors, we may be
able to offer a further discount to students at the door. Please bring
proof of your student status to the workshop to obtain the discount.
We look
forward to seeing you there.
