Dear colleagues, I was asked to pass the below Call for Papers to this list. Please use the website below to contact the organinzers!
Best regards, Brian ------------------------------------------- Dear colleagues, The Department of Biological Sciences at Kent State University would like to invite you to participate in the 27th Annual Midwest Ecology and Evolution Conference (MEEC) to be held March 9-11 2007. This posting is a Call for Papers for this increasingly popular and productive annual professional meeting. We cordially invite undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers in ecology, evolution, anthropology, environmental sciences, and other related fields to submit abstracts for either oral or poster presentations. While most participants of MEEC are from the Midwest, we encourage and welcome all interested individuals, nationally or internationally, to submit abstracts and/or attend. Early registration and abstract submission deadline is January 31st 2007, and may be completed at the following web site: www.midwesteec.org Awards for both the best oral presentation and the best poster presentation will receive a one year subscription to the very prestigious international journal Nature. MEEC is a migratory conference that is organized and run solely by students of the hosting university. The purpose of this conference is to provide a venue for students (graduate and undergraduate) and post-doctoral researchers to present their research to peers in a relaxed environment. In addition, the conference fosters an atmosphere for collaboration and communication between future scientists. MEEC typically has ~ 250 total attendees each year and Kent State University is excited to be this year's host. We are also proud to announce the keynote speaker for MEEC 2007 will be Dr. Robert T. Paine. To maximize attendance while minimizing costs, early registration by January 31st is only $40.00 ($50.00 thereafter until February 19th) and covers meeting attendance, a MEEC 2007 travel mug, a social mixer Friday night, continental breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, as well as a Saturday dinner banquet with the keynote address. Registration, abstract submission, travel/lodging information, and contact information may all be found at the MEEC web site: www.midwesteec.org Please feel free to pass this message on or print it out and post it for interested people to see! There is also a flyer on the web site which we strongly encourage you to post where everyone can see it! We look forward to seeing you at Kent State University for the 27th Annual Midwest Ecology and Evolution Conference in March! -- L.
