Meeting: Integrating Evolution, Development, and Genomics (IEDG 2008) Meeting at the University of California-Berkeley, CA, May 28-30, 2008

尼帕姆河PatelProposal # IOS-0829295整合进化、发展和基因组学（IEDG 2008）会议“整合进化、发展和基因组学2008（IEDG 2008）”是一个由研究生组织的生物学会议，将于2008年5月28日至30日在加州大学伯克利分校举行。它将突出生物科学不同分支的创新研究，从胚胎发育到恐龙古生物学再到基因组学，目的是了解产生我们今天在地球上看到的生命多样性的机制。会议的目标是促进来自不同但互补的研究领域的专家之间的合作，鼓励他们的创造性方法的交流，并向所有参与者传达令人兴奋的研究的广度。来自世界各地的17名研究人员应邀在IEDG 2008上发言。其中，35%是年轻科学家，29%是女性，23%来自国际机构。他们的研究兴趣是多样化的，他们的研究课题包括植物，动物和真菌。IEDG 2008的与会者将限于200名研究生，博士后研究员和其他研究人员，他们将参加会谈，并参加正式和非正式的研讨会和实地考察。这种独特的亲密会议形式将鼓励所有参与者（特别是研究生和博士后研究人员）从与其他科学家的一对一讨论中学习，并促进传统和新生物学领域之间的联系。该奖项的资金将部分用于资助研究生参与者的旅行。这次会议还将宣传创新和综合生物研究的价值以及继续取得进展和扩大的必要性。

Nipam H. PatelProposal # IOS-0829295Integrating Evolution, Development, and Genomics (IEDG 2008) Meeting"Integrating Evolution, Development, and Genomics 2008 (IEDG 2008)" is a graduate student-organized biology meeting to be held at the University of California, Berkeley from May 28-30th, 2008. It will highlight innovative research from diverse branches of biological science, ranging from embryo development to dinosaur paleontology to genomics, with the aim of understanding the mechanisms that have generated the great diversity of life we see on Earth today. The goals of the meeting are to promote collaborations between specialists from different but complementary research fields, encourage the exchange of their creative methods, and communicate a breadth of exciting research to all participants. Seventeen researchers from around the world have been invited to speak at IEDG 2008. Of these, 35% are young scientists, 29% are women, and 23% are from international institutions. Their research interests are diverse and their research subjects include plants, animals, and fungi. The attendees of IEDG 2008 will be limited to 200 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other researchers who will attend talks and participate in formal and informal workshops and fieldtrips. This uniquely intimate meeting format will encourage all participants (especially graduate students and postdoctoral researchers) to learn from one-on-one discussions with other scientists and promote links between traditional and newer fields of biology. Funds from this award will be used, in part, to subsidize travel for graduate student participants. This meeting will also publicize the value of innovative and integrated biological research and the need for its continued progress and expansion.
