Conference: Keystone Symposia meeting on Evolutionary Developmental Biology; Tahoe City, CA

Keystone进化发育生物学研讨会的目的是聚集该学科的主要研究人员，分享在理解动植物多样性进化的遗传和发育基础方面的最新进展，并促进对新的、新兴的和跨学科的方法的研究，以应对进化发育生物学当前的挑战。未来的发言者包括该领域最著名的贡献者以及新兴的新调查人员，他们共同构成了这一高度跨学科研究领域的异常广泛的代表。进化发育生物学领域的研究通过使用跨学科的方法来研究多细胞生物体进化和多样化的分子和遗传机制来促进知识的发展。这次会议将为具有不同视角和不同职业阶段的研究人员提供一个独特的论坛，以确定最重要的最新进展，并讨论解决尚未回答的问题的途径。Keystone研讨会提供了一个国际公认的平台以及资源，以确保本次会议的成功，组织者是进化生物学领域公认的领导者。据我们所知，这将是第一次以讨论为重点的会议，将使用种群遗传学和实验进化的研究人员与那些主要关注宏观进化过程的研究人员聚集在一起。我们预计，这一更广泛的范围将为这两个群体的个人培养新的想法。我们预计将有以下教育益处：使新进入该领域的受训人员和研究人员熟悉最新技术；批判性科学反馈；以及受训人员和新调查人员的职业发展，包括有机会看到成功的科学家介绍尖端科学，并与未来的导师和其他可能对他们的科学和专业发展做出贡献的人建立网络。

The purpose of the Keystone Symposia meeting on Evolutionary Developmental Biology is to gather the leading researchers across the discipline to share recent progress on understanding the genetic and developmental basis of the evolution of plant and animal diversity, and to stimulate research in new, emerging, and interdisciplinary approaches to current challenges in evolutionary developmental biology. The prospective speakers include the most notable contributors to the field as well as emerging new investigators who, together, constitute an exceptionally broad representation of this highly interdisciplinary research field. Research in the field of evolutionary developmental biology advances knowledge by using a cross-disciplinary approach to investigate the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying the evolution and diversification of multicellular organisms. This meeting will provide a unique forum for researchers with different perspectives, and from different career stages, to identify the most significant recent advances and discuss paths to addressing as yet unanswered questions. Keystone Symposia provides an internationally recognized platform as well as resources to ensure the success of this meeting, and the organizers are well-recognized leaders in the field of evolutionary developmental biology. To our knowledge, this will be the first discussion-focused meeting to bring researchers using population genetics and experimental evolution together with those focused primarily on macroevolutionary processes. We anticipate that this broader scope will foster novel ideas for individuals in both groups. We anticipate the following educational benefits: acquaint trainees and investigators new to field with the state-of-the-art; critical scientific feedback; and career development for trainees and new investigators, including opportunities both to see successful scientists presenting cutting-edge science and to network with prospective mentors and others who might contribute to their scientific and professional development.
