18th Northwest Reproductive Sciences Symposium (NWRSS)

项目总结 2022年5月，第十八届西北生殖科学研讨会(NWRSS)会议将由 华盛顿州克莱埃勒姆的生殖生物学中心(CRB)。会议将回到桑卡迪亚小屋， 成功举办2014年北威尔斯会议的会场。这个由来已久的系列节目始于，当时他是 华盛顿州立大学(WSU)和爱达荷大学(UI)年度联合小型研讨会，但现在 每两年在威斯康星州立大学/俄勒冈州立大学(OSU)和俄勒冈健康科学学院之间轮换 大学(OHSU)。该科学计划旨在展示中国地区研究的高质量。 生殖科学、生育和避孕、发育生物学、动物和人类健康。这个 NWRSS会议的目标是促进信息交流，以推动我们的集体 了解哺乳动物在正常功能和疾病状态下的生殖道。因为 大多数与会者集中在太平洋西北部，许多持久的合作由此产生 事实证明，这些聚会既富有成效，又易于维护。NWRSS会议寻求支持 生殖生物学各方面的职业发展，促进学员之间的互动，新的 调查人员，以及既定的首席调查人员。NWRSS的培训方面扩展到 会议的组织，因为实习生计划委员会单独负责组织 将科学会议分成专题小组，挑选受训平台发言者，并担任会议主席。 NWRSS的大部分演讲是由博士后研究员和学生发表的。今年，除了 生殖生物学领域一位杰出领导者的主旨演讲，演讲者谈到健康 STEM领域在繁殖和多样性方面的差异将在节目中亮相。主办方和 西北地区研究计划的参与者致力于提供一个安全和包容的环境，以促进分享 发展生物学家、分子生物学家、系统生物学家、种群健康生物学家、 以及在生殖生物学领域工作的临床医生。

PROJECT SUMMARY In May 2022, the 18th Northwest Reproductive Science Symposium (NWRSS) meeting will be hosted by the Center for Reproductive Biology (CRB) in Cle Elum, WA. The meeting will return to the Suncadia Lodge, the venue for the successful 2014 NWRSS meeting. This long-standing series began in 1989 as the Washington State University (WSU) and the University of Idaho (UI) annual joint minisymposium, but now rotates biennially between WSU/UI, Oregon State University (OSU), and the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). The scientific program serves to showcase the high quality of regional research in reproductive sciences, fertility and contraception, developmental biology, and animal and human health. The objective of the NWRSS meeting is to promote the exchange of information to advance our collective understanding of the mammalian reproductive tract both in normal function and in diseased states. Because most of the attendees are concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, many lasting collaborations arise from these gatherings that have proven both productive and easy to maintain. The NWRSS meeting seeks to support career development within all aspects of reproductive biology, enabling interaction between trainees, new investigators, and established principal investigators. The training aspect of the NWRSS extends to the organization of the meeting as well, as the trainee program committee is solely responsible for organizing the scientific sessions into thematic groups, selection of trainee platform speakers, and service as session chairs. The majority of the NWRSS talks are delivered by post-doctoral fellows and students. This year, in addition to Keynote address from a preeminent leader in the field of reproductive biology, speakers addressing health disparities in reproduction and diversity in STEM fields will be featured in the program. The organizers and participants of the NWRSS are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment to foster the sharing of ideas between developmental biologists, molecular biologists, systems biologists, population health biologists, and clinicians working in the field of reproductive biology.
