Dear colleagues,
I also wanted to give you advance notice about the special May
Biosystematists meeting to be held Saturday afternoon and evening, May
14, 2011, at University of San Francisco, on human races and
evolutionary biology. Speakers include Lisa Gannett, Massimo
Pigliucci, and Alan Templeton -- plus there will be plenty of time for
audience discussion. See this website for details:
https://sites.google.com/site/babsspringconference2011/
The organizer, Quayshawn Spencer, has secured funding to provide
refreshments at breaks and reception, so there is no charge to attend,
and no need to RSVP. There will, however, not be an organized group
dinner in the usual BABS style. Instead Quayshawn will hand out a
list of nearby restaurants and we encourage folks to self-organize
into groups and go out to dinner after the conference ends at 7:00 pm.
This conference is a follow-up of the excellent BABS meeting held at
Stanford in January 2010, and promises to be engaging and
controversial. Hope to see you all there!
Best,
Brent
