CONFERENCE: 2013 Wind River Conference on Prokaryotic Biology to be held June 5-9, 2013 in Estes Park, Colorado

智力优势。 风河原核生物学会议将于2013年6月5日至9日（以及2014年和2015年6月的第一周）在科罗拉多的埃斯蒂斯公园举行。会议将探讨原核生物学的各种主题，包括基因调控，分子生物学，生理学，生态学和进化。这次会议的系统和主题的多样性将为新的想法提供一个肥沃的环境，并将既定的概念应用于新出现的系统。更广泛的影响。 会议组织者致力于包容不同的参与者群体，从历史上看，这些会议的一个重要特点是研究生，博士后研究员甚至一些非常有才华的本科研究人员都可以参加。努力保持成本负担得起，并提供旅行赠款金作为Muriel Rogers和Arnold Ravin奖学金，以表彰两位创始会议成员，他们为遗传科学学科做出了重大贡献，并且在早期积极支持这次会议。

Intellectual Merit. The Wind River Conference on Procaryotic Biology will be held June 5-9, 2013 (and the first week of June in 2014 and 2015)in Estes Park, Colorado. The meeting will explore a variety of topics in procaryotic bioogy, including gene regulation, molecular biology, physiology, ecology, and evolution. The diversity of systems and topics characteristic of this meeting will provide a fertile environment for new ideas, and for applying well-established concepts to newly emerging systems. Broader Impacts. The meeting organizers are committed to inclusion of a diverse group of participants, and historically, a significant feature of these meetings has been their accessibility to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and even some very talented undergraduate researchers. Efforts are made to keep the costs affordable,and travel grants will be offered as Muriel Rogers and Arnold Ravin Scholarships in recognition of two founding conference members who contributed significantly to the genetic scientific discipline and who were active supporters of this conference in its early years.
