1993 Northeast Regional Conference on Developmental Biology,to be held March 12-14, 1993, Woods Hole, MA

这项建议是为资助参加1993年东北发育生物学区域会议的学生而提出的一项申请。会议将于1993年3月12-14日在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋生物实验室(MBL)举行。这次会议的总体目标是将处于职业生涯不同阶段的广泛的发育生物学家聚集在一起，在正式和非正式的环境中介绍和讨论他们的研究。与以往的会议一样，将尝试整合对植物和动物发育生物学的研究，以加强传统上被分开的群体之间的交流。1993年的会议将包括四个正式的平台会议和两个海报会议，以及著名发育生物学家的两个专题演讲。在交流会和海报会议期间，以及在餐会期间，将有充足的时间进行非正式讨论，餐会将在MBL的食堂举行。这次会议的一个吸引人的特点是，它为学生、博士后研究员和初级教员提供了在相互支持的融洽气氛中向不同的发育生物学家介绍他们的工作的机会。因此，鼓励主持平台会议的知名研究人员征求研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师的演讲，并鼓励所有参加会议的研究生在海报会议上展示他们的工作。摘要将发表在《生物通讯》上。

This proposal is a request for funds to support student participants at the 1993 Northeast Regional Conference on Developmental Biology. The Conference will be held at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Woods Hole, Massachusetts, on the weekend of March 12-14, 1993. The general goal of this conference is to bring together a broad range of developmental biologists, at various stages in their careers, to present and discuss their research in formal and informal settings. As in past conferences, an attempt will be made to integrate research on plant and animal developmental biology to enhance communication between groups that traditionally have been separated. The 1993 conference will include four formal platform sessions and two poster sessions, as well as two featured presentations by prominent developmental biologists. There will be ample time for informal discussions during the mixers and poster sessions, and during the meals, which will be in MBL's dining hall. One of the attractive features of this conference is that it provides students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty with the opportunity to present their work to a diverse group of developmental biologists in a supportive congenial atmosphere. Accordingly, the established investigators chairing the platform sessions are encouraged to solicit presentations from graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty, and all graduate students attending the meeting are encouraged to present their work in the poster sessions. Abstracts will be published in The Biological Bulletin.
