Conference Proposal: Symposium on Biomathematics and ecology education and research

该项目支持学生、博士后研究人员和早期职业教师参加将于2016年10月14-16日在南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿举行的生物数学和生态学：教育和研究研讨会。研讨会将重点介绍数学生物学、生物学、生态学和生物统计学方面的最新科学和教育发展。这次会议将汇集生物科学和数学科学的研究人员和教育工作者，传播他们目前的工作，并与其他人建立网络，他们的共同专长涵盖数学生物学的许多领域。此外，旨在造福整个数学生物学社区的项目的小组讨论会将为初级和高级研究人员和教育工作者提供创建新的合作场所的意识。这次会议由查尔斯顿学院主办。该技术项目由来自全国几所大学的生物和数学研究人员组织，目标是分享不同领域生物数学研究的进展，同时分享学生参与相关项目的机会。会议的研究重点为可能对生物数学研究进展产生影响的合作提供了机会，而会议的教育重点支持生物数学教育的创新，希望其长期影响将是为未来的STEM劳动力增加新的和准备更好的学生。会议的安排也直接涉及学生的参与和发展。会议的结果将涉及环境和公共卫生问题。此外，这次会议的结果将有助于建立一个与社会相关的当代生物数学课程。有关这次会议的详细信息，请访问会议网站https://about.illinoisstate.edu/biomath/beer/Pages/default.aspx.。

This project supports the attendance of students, postdoctoral researchers and early career faculty at the Symposium on Biomathematics and Ecology: Education and Research to be held in Charleston, South Carolina on October 14-16, 2016. The symposium will highlight recent scientific and educational developments in mathematical biology, biology, ecology, and biostatistics. This meeting will bring together researchers and educators from both the biological and the mathematical sciences to disseminate their current work and to network with others, whose combined expertise covers many areas in mathematical biology. Moreover, a panel discussion session focusing on projects aiming to benefit the mathematical biology community as a whole will provide an awareness of creating new collaboration venues for junior and senior researchers and educators.This conference is hosted by the College of Charleston. The technical program is organized by researchers in biology and mathematics, from several universities across the country and has the goal of sharing progress over a diverse field biomathematics research while sharing opportunities for student involvement on related projects. The research focus of the conference allows opportunities for collaborations that may have impact in advances in biomathematics research, while the educational focus of the conference supports innovations in biomathematics education, with the hope that its long-term impact will be the addition of new and better-prepared students to the future STEM workforce. The conference programming also directly addresses student participation and development. Results from the conference will address environmental and public health problems and questions. In addition, results from this conference will help in the establishment of a biomathematics curriculum that is current and relevant to society.
