Although much research has documented how changes in average environmental temperatures affect organisms, much less work has evaluated how changes in temperature variation (day to day or season to season), and in the frequency and impacts of extreme weather events, affect organisms. Nevertheless, early studies and theoretical work indicate that the impacts of changing patterns of temperature variation can be enormous. Biologists are on the cusp of an explosion of work in this area, and the symposium that this grant supports (at the Portland 2016 meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology) will drive these ideas forward by bringing together established and early-career biologists for a wide-ranging discussion of theory and data. The results of this symposium will be published in the journal of Integrative and Comparative Biology. The symposium will support a diversity of scientists along with students and researchers at all levels.The grant will support a diversity of international and US scientists working across a variety of levels (altogether 4 women, 4 postdocs, 5 international, and 2 from underrepresented groups). This project will also function as an experiment to explore a new model of running a symposium and of generating rapidly-published, high-impact papers. Each participant will be asked ahead of time to address, in their talk, one or more of four outstanding questions in the field. Then, at the symposium, participants will give oral presentations to the group and will subsequently work in two intensive workshops aimed at generating broadly focused, high-impact papers reflecting the consensus (or lack thereof) about the current state of the field and a description of productive next steps. Discussions are underway with the publication journal (Integrative and Comparative Biology) to streamline the publication process so that the papers appear online and in print as soon as possible. During the meeting, participation will be broadened in two ways. First, audience participation will be encouraged both by scheduling long question & answer periods (10 minutes) after each talk and by gathering questions and comments from symposium and audience participants via social media during talks to be used in the Q&A and in the workshops to frame discussions. Second, there will be a companion, related poster session by students and researchers at all levels. These scientists will be encouraged to participate in the workshops as well, and potentially to co-author symposium papers.

虽然许多研究已经记录了平均环境温度的变化如何影响生物体，但很少有工作评估温度变化（每天或季节）以及极端天气事件的频率和影响如何影响生物体。然而，早期的研究和理论工作表明，温度变化模式的变化可能产生巨大的影响。生物学家在这一领域的工作爆炸的风口浪尖上，该补助金支持的研讨会（在波特兰2016年综合与比较生物学学会会议上）将通过汇集建立和早期职业生涯生物学家对理论和数据进行广泛讨论来推动这些想法。 本次研讨会的成果将发表在《综合与比较生物学》杂志上。 研讨会将支持科学家的多样性沿着学生和研究人员在所有级别.赠款将支持国际和美国科学家的多样性在不同层次的工作（共4名妇女，4博士后，5个国际，和2个来自代表性不足的群体）.该项目还将作为一个实验，探索举办研讨会和产生快速出版的高影响力论文的新模式。每个与会者将被要求提前解决，在他们的谈话，在该领域的四个悬而未决的问题中的一个或多个。然后，在专题讨论会上，与会者将向小组作口头介绍，随后将在两个密集的讲习班上工作，目的是编写重点广泛、影响力大的文件，反映对该领域现状的共识（或缺乏共识），并说明今后富有成效的步骤。目前正在与出版期刊（《综合与比较生物学》）讨论如何简化出版程序，以便论文尽快在网上和印刷版上发表。在会议期间，将以两种方式扩大参与。首先，将通过在每次演讲后安排长时间的问答时间（10分钟）以及通过社交媒体收集研讨会和观众参与者的问题和评论来鼓励观众参与，这些问题和评论将在问答和研讨会中使用。第二，将有一个同伴，相关的海报会议，由学生和研究人员在各级。还将鼓励这些科学家参加讲习班，并有可能共同撰写专题讨论会论文。
