Conference on Comparative Physiology in a Changing World: August 4-7, 2010; Westminster, CO

美国生理学会(APS)将于2010年8月4日至7日在科罗拉多州威斯敏斯特举行一次关于全球变化和全球科学：变化世界中的比较生理学的会议。这将是第一次关注全球气候变化对动物生理影响的任何类型的会议。比较和进化生理学家受过独特的训练，有助于我们理解环境条件变化对动物的影响，因此，有助于预测人为气候变化对人类和生态社区的复杂后果。APS将为来自科学代表性不足群体的研究生和博士后研究员管理一个旅行奖励计划，以便提供机会了解这一研究领域，与知名研究人员互动，并参加比较生理学职业发展研讨会。

The American Physiological Society (APS) will hold a conference on Global Change and Global Science: Comparative Physiology in a Changing World," scheduled for August 4-7, 2010 in Westminster, CO. This will be the first conference of any type to focus on the effects of global climate change on animal physiology. Comparative and evolutionary physiologists are uniquely trained to contribute to our understanding of the effects of changing environmental conditions on animals, and, therefore, help predict the complex consequences of anthropogenic climate change for humans and ecological communities. APS will administer a travel award program for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from groups underrepresented in science in order to provide opportunities to learn about this field of investigation, interact with established investigators, and to participate in workshops on career development in comparative physiology.
