We are organising a Joint Meeting of the British Ecological Society,
the Biochemical Society and the Society for Experimental Biology
entitled 'Aboveground-belowground interactions: technologies and new
approaches', which is being held on 8-10 Oct 2012 in London
(<http://www.jointbessebbs.org/2012/Home.aspx>http://www.jointbessebbs.org/2012/Home.aspx).
The deadline for abstract submission is 13 August 2012.
The aim of the symposium is to promote cross-disciplinary
collaboration by bringing together existing technology users and
developers (e.g. biochemists, geneticists, bioinformaticists) who are
interested in applying their skills to address research questions at
the whole organism and ecological scales with above-belowground
researchers working at biochemical, ecological, physiological, and
molecular scales who have a desire to learn and apply new research
technologies. We have an exciting list of invited speakers (including
Richard Bardgett, Ted Turlings, Julia Ferrari, Thure Hauser, Marcel
Dicke, Nicole van Dam, Phillipe Schmitt-Kopplin, Alex Dumbrell, Mirka
Macel, and Garret Suen) and would welcome additional research talks
and posters contributed by meeting delegates.
Spaces for this symposium are limited, and we should be grateful if
you would advertise the meeting amongst your research group and colleagues.
