CONFERENCE: 2013 Wind River Conference on Prokaryotic Biology to be held June 5-9, 2013 in Estes Park, Colorado

知识价值。原核生物风河会议将于2013年6月5日至9日（以及2014年和2015年6月的第一周）在科罗拉多州埃斯蒂斯公园举行。会议将探讨原核生物的各种主题，包括基因调控、分子生物学、生理学、生态学和进化。本次会议的系统和主题的多样性将为新思想提供肥沃的环境，并为将成熟的概念应用于新兴系统提供肥沃的环境。更广泛的影响。会议组织者致力于包括不同群体的参与者，从历史上看，这些会议的一个显著特征是它们对研究生，博士后研究员甚至一些非常有才华的本科生研究人员的可访问性。为了使会议费用保持在可承受的范围内，会议将以Muriel Rogers和Arnold Ravin奖学金的形式提供旅行补助金，以表彰两位对遗传科学学科做出重大贡献的创始会议成员，以及在会议早期积极支持会议的成员。

Intellectual Merit. The Wind River Conference on Procaryotic Biology will be held June 5-9, 2013 (and the first week of June in 2014 and 2015)in Estes Park, Colorado. The meeting will explore a variety of topics in procaryotic bioogy, including gene regulation, molecular biology, physiology, ecology, and evolution. The diversity of systems and topics characteristic of this meeting will provide a fertile environment for new ideas, and for applying well-established concepts to newly emerging systems. Broader Impacts. The meeting organizers are committed to inclusion of a diverse group of participants, and historically, a significant feature of these meetings has been their accessibility to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and even some very talented undergraduate researchers. Efforts are made to keep the costs affordable,and travel grants will be offered as Muriel Rogers and Arnold Ravin Scholarships in recognition of two founding conference members who contributed significantly to the genetic scientific discipline and who were active supporters of this conference in its early years.
