SYMPOSIUM: Recent Progress in Crustacean Endocrinology: A Symposium in Honor of Milton Fingerman, January 4-8, 2000, in Atlanta, Georgia

本提案要求支持召开一次关于甲壳类动物内分泌学最新进展的专题讨论会。上一次专门讨论甲壳类动物内分泌学的研讨会是在1983年举行的。本次研讨会将于2000年1月4日至8日在乔治亚州亚特兰大举行的综合与比较生物学学会（SICB）年会上举行。12位受邀演讲者将介绍甲壳类动物神经分泌激素和类固醇激素的化学、异质性、分子生物学、受体生物学和功能方面的最新知识。特邀演讲者将介绍甲壳类动物内分泌学领域的现状，以及杜兰大学生物学教授米尔顿·芬格曼博士杰出的职业生涯中在甲壳类动物内分泌学领域所做的开创性工作。2000年将是芬格曼博士科学生涯50周年纪念。本次研讨会已获得学会批准，并已被美国动物学家（SICB官方刊物）接受发表。

This proposal requests support for a symposium on recent advances in crustacean endocrinology. The last symposium dedicated solely to crustacean endocrinology was held in 1983. This symposium will be held at the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) in Atlanta, Georgia on January 4-8, 2000. Twelve invited speakers will present the most current knowledge of the chemistry, heterogeneity, molecular biology, receptor biology, and function of crustacean neurosecretory and steroid hormones. Invited speakers will relate this current state of the field of crustacean endocrinology with the pioneer work in crustacean endocrinology accomplished during the distinguished career of Dr. Milton Fingerman, Professor of Biology, Tulane University. The year 2000 will mark the 50th anniversary of Dr. Fingerman's scientific career. This symposium has been approved by the Society and has been accepted for publication in the American Zoologist (the official publication of SICB).
