This award will support attendance by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the Royal Society of London Meeting on Molluscan Genomics, to be held September 16-17, 2019 at Chicheley Hall in Milton Keynes, UK. This meeting, entitled "Pearls of wisdom: Synergizing leadership and expertise in molluscan genomics", is organized as one of the Royal Society's Theo Murphy meetings and is designed to bring together scientists from around the world to present and discuss new research on diverse topics that promise to reveal important links between genomics and the biology of mollusks. The format of the meeting is a combination of talks and posters, which will promote scientific exchange in both formal and informal settings. Early-career participants will benefit from engagement as speakers and discussion leaders in general sessions and as presenters in a special poster session featuring the work of junior scientists. The scientific focus of the meeting will be on four themes: diversity of molluscan life, technological advances in molluscan genomics, challenges in molluscan genome assembly, and advances, insights and problems addressable with molluscan genomics. These topics were chosen to catalyze new, significant advances in understanding the biology of mollusks, which have high importance from ecological, economic, and medical perspectives. Concerted efforts to include participants who are relatively young scientists in the field will help ensure that the conference meets one of its goals, e.g., to develop a new cadre of researchers prepared to move the science forward. The meeting will provide an excellent venue for graduate student and postdoctoral participants, including those from underrepresented groups, to share their latest results with researchers from the U.S. and abroad and to receive feedback on their work from experts in the field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持研究生和博士后研究人员参加将于2019年9月16日至17日在英国米尔顿凯恩斯奇切利大厅举行的伦敦皇家学会软体动物基因组学会议。本次会议名为“智慧之珠：软体动物基因组学的协同领导和专业知识”，是英国皇家学会西奥·墨菲会议之一，旨在汇集来自世界各地的科学家，展示和讨论不同主题的新研究，这些研究有望揭示基因组学与软体动物生物学之间的重要联系。会议的形式是演讲和海报的结合，这将促进正式和非正式环境中的科学交流。早期职业参与者将受益于作为一般会议的演讲者和讨论领导者，以及作为展示年轻科学家工作的特别海报会议的主持人。会议的科学重点将集中在四个主题上：软体动物生命的多样性，软体动物基因组学的技术进步，软体动物基因组组装的挑战，以及软体动物基因组学的进展，见解和可解决的问题。选择这些主题是为了在理解软体动物生物学方面催化新的、重大的进展，从生态、经济和医学的角度来看，这是非常重要的。将该领域相对年轻的科学家包括在内的协调一致的努力将有助于确保会议实现其目标之一，例如，培养一支准备推动科学向前发展的新的研究人员骨干。会议将为研究生和博士后参与者提供一个极好的场所，包括那些来自代表性不足群体的人，与来自美国和国外的研究人员分享他们的最新成果，并听取该领域专家对他们工作的反馈。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
