Fifth Annual Yosemite Symbiosis Workshop 2015 An integrative meeting of biologists focusing on symbiosis research May 1-3, 2015 Sierra Nevada Research Institute, Wawona, Yosemite National Park This has become a great venue for a diversity of symbiosis researchers, so we hope to continue to attract a diverse group Keynote speaker 2015: Dr. Ellen L. Simms from the University of California, Berkeley. Information about our meeting: Why: Our goal is to better integrate scientists that focus on symbiosis research. We plan to continue annual workshops at Yosemite as this site is both beautiful and secluded. This will be our 5th annual meeting and we are now attracting scientists from all over the country and overseas. Who: The meeting is small by design (~50 participants) and we seek to focus on scientists interested in both cooperation and symbiosis. In the past we have covered a range of symbiosis topics from ecology and evolution to molecular mechanisms in different model and non-model systems. We would like to make room for a diverse group of people so we will initially accept up to 3 lab members per group (including the PI) on a first come first served basis. When: The talks and formal meeting will be held May 2-3, 2015, though we make accommodation arrangements available for attendees to arrive on Friday the 1st to provide opportunities to enjoy the park. Since time at the conference is limited, we ask attendees to submit an abstract and a preference (talk versus poster). Priority will be given to those presenting. Abstract and early bird registration are due on January 31st, 2015. Where: SNRS has a set of cabins in Wawona and all within a short walk of the conference room. Costs: See details in the registration page. We will only be able to accept credit card payments this year.
