Society for Developmental Biology 61st. Annual Meeting; July 21-25, 2002, Madison, Wisconsin

第61届发育生物学学会年会将于2002年7月21日至25日在麦迪逊的威斯康辛大学举行。该协会自1939年成立以来一直举办该会议，仅在第二次世界大战期间缺席了两年。这表明它在举行最高科学质量的会议方面的承诺和成功，也反映了社会对发育生物学领域的兴趣。科学会议包括各种生物的工作，包括植物、无脊椎动物和脊椎动物。51位演讲者已经接受邀请，向与会者介绍他们在以下领域的一些最新发现：细胞、器官和有机体大小的发育，制造边界，发育时间，细胞外基质和细胞信号传导，细胞骨架信号传导，大脑的制造和连接，感觉系统的发育，器官发生，形态多样性的进化，基因表达的控制，生殖细胞，处理发育中的复杂性，以及细胞和分子成像。将从提交的摘要中选择另外24-32位演讲者进行平台演讲，允许包含最新结果，并为博士后和研究生提供讨论他们作品的机会。教育专题讨论会将围绕当前的主题“教学进化”展开，并将包括一段由观众参与的讨论时间。预计将有700人参加，其中大多数人将在每天两次专门的海报会议上展示他们的新数据，一次在午餐后，另一次在晚上。组织者确信，这种形式使他们能够继续强调最好的科学，并提供一个论坛，将初级和高级研究人员聚集在一起，并允许他们就科学、教育和科学在当今社会中的作用交换意见。学生和初级博士后以及拉丁美洲教师和学生参加会议将获得基于绩效的旅行奖励。

0212305CarrollFunds are requested for partial support of the 61th Annual Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology, to be held July 21-25, 2002 at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The Society has held this meeting since its founding in 1939, missing only two years during World War II. This is an indication of its commitment and success in holding meetings of the highest scientific quality, as well as a reflection of the community's interest on the field of developmental biology. The scientific sessions encompass work on diverse organisms including plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. Fifty-one speakers have already accepted the invitation to tell the attendees about some of their latest findings in the following areas: Development of Cell, Organ, and Organismal Size, Making Boundaries, Developmental Timing, Extracellular Matrix and Cell Signaling, Signaling into the Cytoskeleton, Making and Connecting the Brain, Development of Sensory Systems, Organogenesis, Evolution of Morphological Diversity, Control of Gene Expression, Germ Cells, Dealing with Complexity in Development, and Imaging Cells and Molecules. An additional 24-32 speakers will be chosen from submitted abstracts for platform presentations, allowing the inclusion of the latest results and providing an opportunity for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to talk about their works. The Education Symposium will center on the very current topic of Teaching Evolution and it will include a discussion period with audience participation. An attendance of about 700 people is expected, and most of them will present their new data in the two dedicated poster sessions each day, one after lunch and the other in the evening. The organizers are certain that this format allows them to continue to emphasize the best science and to provide a forum to bring together junior and senior investigators, and to allow them to exchange ideas on science, education and the role of science in today's society. Merit-based travel awards will be available to students and junior postdoctoral fellows, as well as Latin American faculty and students to attend the meeting.
