Conference: Symposium: Contemporary Approaches to Endocrine Signaling, Toronto, Ontario, Canada on January 4-8, 2003

关于内分泌信号传导的当代方法的研讨会是综合比较生物学学会（SICB）年会的一部分。 它解决了现在正在应用于非传统模式生物的技术创新。 该计划的参与者拥有神经内分泌学，内分泌学，动物行为学和发育生物学方面的专业知识。研讨会将邀请高级和初级科学家和学生讨论这些新技术的应用，这些新技术来自更传统的模式生物，如实验室啮齿动物。这次在加拿大多伦多举行的会议的国际性增强了向社会介绍新人的能力。旅费将用于与会者出席会议。如上所述，这一影响将扩展到许多研究领域。此外，会议将通过培训研究生和本科生参与比较生物学研究，对这一尖端技术有明确的了解，促进科学教育。当这些讨论发表在《综合比较生物学》和《普通比较内分泌学》杂志上时，将产生进一步的影响。

This symposium on contemporary approaches to endocrine signaling is part of the annual meeting for the Society for Integrative & Comparative Biology (SICB). It addresses technical innovations that are now being applied to unconventional model organisms. Participants in this program possess expertise in neuroendocrinolgy, endocrinology, animal behavior, and developmental biology. The symposium will engage both senior and junior ranked scientists and students in discussions of the application of these new techniques that have been derived from more traditional model organisms, such as laboratory rodents. Introduction of new people to the society is enhanced by the international nature of this meeting being held in Toronto, Canada. Travel funds will allow participants to attend the meeting. The impact of this will extend to numerous fields of study, as mentioned above. In addition, the meeting will foster scientific education by training graduate and undergraduate students to participate in comparative biological research armed with a clear understanding of this sophisticated technology. A further impact will be made when these discussions are published in the journals: Integrative & Comparative Biology and General & Comparative Endocrinology.
