Conference: 45th Annual Maize Genetics Conference, to be held Spring 2003 in Lake Geneva, WI

第45届玉米遗传学年会将于2003年3月13日至16日举行。这次会议为玉米遗传学社区的成员提供了介绍和讨论他们最新研究成果的机会。课程涵盖了从经典遗传学到分子遗传学的广泛主题。对于研究生来说，会议是一个特别重要的场所，让他们与该领域的科学家见面和互动，以演讲或海报的形式讨论他们的研究想法，并开始建立科学网络，这些网络将在他们的职业生涯中被证明是无价的。第45届年会将包括五位特邀演讲者45分钟的演讲、个人与会者15分钟的演讲、两个海报会议和两个工作坊。被邀请的演讲者将是：罗格斯大学的雨果·杜纳、弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心的史蒂夫·亨尼科夫、康奈尔大学的苏珊·麦考奇、加州大学戴维斯分校的尼利玛·辛哈和南卡罗来纳大学的维基·万斯。研讨会将是：“玉米基因组资源”和“玉米数量性状基因座：实用方面和新方法”。一年一度的玉米遗传学会议为玉米遗传学界成员提供了介绍和讨论玉米遗传学和基因组学许多领域的研究成果的机会。会议的形式包括讲座、海报会议和研讨会。会议为研究生提供了一个很好的场所，让他们与该领域的科学家见面和互动，以演讲或海报的形式讨论他们的研究想法，并开始建立科学网络，这些网络将在他们的职业生涯中被证明是非常宝贵的。

The 45th Annual Maize Genetics Conference will be held March 13-16, 2003. The meeting offers members of the Maize Genetics community the opportunity to present and discuss their most recent research results. A wide range of topics are covered, ranging from classical to molecular genetics. The meeting is an especially important venue for graduate students to meet and interact with scientists in the field, to discuss their research ideas as talks or posters, and to begin to establish the scientific networks that will prove invaluable throughout their careers. The 45th Annual meeting will feature 45-minute talks by five invited speakers, 15 minute talks given by individual participants, two poster sessions, and two workshops. The invited speakers will be: Hugo Dooner, Rutgers University; Steve Henikoff, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; Susan McCouch, Cornell University; Neelima Sinha, University of California-Davis; and Vicki Vance, University of South Carolina. The workshops will be: "Maize Genomics Resources" and "Maize Quantitative Trait Loci: Practical Aspects and New Approaches". The annual Maize Genetics Conference offers members of the maize genetics community the opportunity to present and discuss research results in many areas of maize genetics and genomics. The format of the meeting includes talks, poster sessions, and workshops. The Conference provides an outstanding venue for graduate students to meet and interact with scientists in the field, to discuss their research ideas as talks or posters, and to begin to establish the scientific networks that will prove invaluable throughout their careers.
