2008 Plant and Fungal Cytoskeleton Gordon Research Conference to be held August 3-8, 2008 at Ciocco in Barga, Italy

该奖项将为将于20008年8月3-8日在意大利巴尔加的Il Ciocco举行的关于植物和真菌细胞骨架的戈登研究会议提供支持。这是一次两年一度的会议，汇集了来自世界各地研究植物、藻类和真菌中细胞骨架的研究人员。这次会议一直是，并将继续成为这些生物体中微管和肌动蛋白研究的推动力。它们既有相似之处，也有不同之处，这有助于促进这两组生物体的研究。将有十次平台会议、两次主旨演讲和一次每日海报会议。将从摘要中选择九到十个演讲，以允许年轻的研究人员和新的突破性信息被展示。广泛的影响：会议促进了研究社区的所有成员的参与。鼓励研究生、博士后研究员和助理教授在平台和海报会议上展示他们的工作。鼓励妇女和少数群体发表演讲和演讲。这次会议将为研究人员提供极好的机会，体验与来自不同地理位置的植物和真菌群落的其他工作人员的个人接触，其中包括来自北美、欧洲和亚洲的人。随着与寄生虫有关的讲座的增加，希望也能吸引来自非洲和澳大利亚的与会者。

This award will provide support for a Gordon Research Conference on the Plant and Fungal Cytoskeleton to be held August 3-8, 20008 at Il Ciocco in Barga, Italy. This is a biennial meeting that brings together researchers from across the globe who study the cytoskeleton in plants, algae, and fungi. This meeting has been and will continue to be a driving force in the study of microtubules and actin in these organisms. They both share similarities and differences that have helped to promote research in both sets of organisms. There will be ten platform sessions, two keynote addresses, and a daily poster session. Nine to ten talks will be chosen from the abstracts to allow younger researchers and new breaking information to be presented.Broader Impacts:The conference promotes participation by all members of the research community. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and assistant professors are encouraged to present their work during platform and poster sessions. Women and minorities are encouraged to give talks and presentations. The conference will provide excellent opportunities for researchers to experience personal contacts with other workers from the geographically diverse plant and fungal communities thatincludes persons from North America, Europe, and Asia. With the addition of talks relating to parasites, it is hoped to attract attendees from Africa and Australia as well.
