U.S.-Australia Symposium: Support for Students Attending the 5th International Sponge Symposium

对这次美澳研讨会的支持将使11名年轻的美国研究人员有可能参加1998年6月在澳大利亚布里斯班举行的第五届海绵生物学国际研讨会。这些年轻的研究人员——包括三名博士后、五名研究生和三名本科生——不仅将参加研讨会，在那里他们将与世界上领先的海绵生物学研究人员会面，而且还将参加一个专门为他们设计的研讨会，让他们讨论自己的兴趣和研究。美国的组织者是威尔明顿北卡罗来纳大学的David Pawlik和佛罗里达州皮尔斯堡海港海洋研究所的Adele Pile。澳大利亚和新西兰的组织者包括昆士兰博物馆无柄海洋脊椎动物高级策展人John Hooper博士和奥克兰大学助理副校长Patricia Bergquist教授。

The participation of these young researchers -- including three post-docs, five graduate students, and three undergraduates-will feature not only attendance at the symposium, where they will meet the world's leading researchers in sponge biology, but also a workshop designed especially to engage them in discussion about their own interests and research. The U.S. organizers are David Pawlik of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and Adele Pile of the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Fort Pierce, Florida. The Australian and New Zealand Organizers include Dr. John Hooper, Senior Curator for Sessile Marine Vertebrates, Queensland Museaum, and Professor Patricia Bergquist, Assistant Vice-Chancellor, The University of Auckland.
