Midwest Ecology and Evolution Conference 2013 - ***FINAL call for abstracts!***
March 23rd-24th Oral and Poster abstract and registration deadline is February 22nd! The Midwest Ecology and Evolution Conference (MEEC) is coming to the University of Notre Dame March 23rd-24th! MEEC is a travelling conference hosted by a different university each year. The conference is entirely planned and comprised of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as post-docs. Although “professional” scientists are permitted to attend, they are not allowed to present. This gives an excellent opportunity to present research in a more relaxed atmosphere, collecting feedback or preparing for a larger national conference. MEEC also provides an excellent opportunity for smaller institutions with smaller research budgets to present without having to travel long distances for a national conference. We hope this will be a great opportunity for students located in the Midwest to closely interact and communicate their science, as well as serve as a springboard for potential future collaborations. This year MEEC has the honor of hosting two plenary speakers. Dr. Michael Vanni from Miami University (OH) and Dr. Rowan Barrett from Harvard University will be speaking during the weekend. Both presentations will no doubt be interesting, and the more intimate setting of MEEC will allow for closer interaction with these great scientists. Registration for the conference is $35, with an optional $18 banquet dinner to be held Saturday evening. Guidelines for posters and oral presentations, as well as directions for registration can be found at meec2013.wordpress.com. You can also find us on facebook.
