Conference Proposal: International Symposium on Biomathematics and Ecology: Education and Research

这项提案是为将于2013年10月11日至14日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的第六届生物数学和生态学：教育与研究国际研讨会(BEER-2013)提供部分资金。研讨会将重点介绍数学生物学、生态学和生物统计学最近在科学和教育方面的重大发展。这次会议将汇集生物科学和数学科学的初级研究人员，传播他们目前的工作，并与其他初级和高级研究人员和教育工作者建立网络，他们的专业知识涵盖数学生物学的许多领域。会议的一个重要组成部分是扩大教育，鼓励年轻和代表性不足的与会者进行研究。会议的结果将涉及环境和公共卫生问题。此外，这次会议的结果将有助于建立一个与社会相关的当前生物数学课程。

This proposal is for partial funding for the Sixth International Symposium on Biomathematics and Ecology: Education and Research (BEER-2013) to be held in Arlington, Virginia on October 11-14, 2013. The symposium will highlight significant recent scientific and educational developments in mathematical biology, ecology, and biostatistics. This conference will bring together junior researchers from both the biological and the mathematical sciences to disseminate their current work and to network with other junior and senior researchers and educators whose combined expertise covers many areas in mathematical biology. An important component of the meeting is to broaden the education and stimulate the research of young and underrepresented participants. Results from the conference will address environmental and public health problems and questions. In addition, results from this conference will help in the establishment of a biomathematical curriculum that is current and relevant to society.
