The Davis chapter of the Society for Conservation Biology will be hosting the Bay Area Conservation Biology Symposium (BACBS) on Saturday, May 4th. This one-day symposium is free of charge for all registrants (registration is limited to the first 200 people to sign up).
http://scbdavis.wix.com/bacbs2013 BACBS is a one-day symposium that rotates among several universities in the Bay Area. It provides an opportunity to present conservation-related work and to meet other conservation-minded individuals from the region, both within and outside of academia. The theme of the symposium is "Conservation in a Changing World," and it will be held in Harring Hall on the University of California, Davis campus. Our featured speaker this year is Dr. Steve Beissinger from UC Berkeley. If you are interested in participating in this symposium, please submit an abstract no later than April 24th on the symposium website. Please note that all submitted abstracts should be no longer than 200 words in length. Abstracts may be submitted with intention to present either a talk (15 minutes) or a poster at the conference. Please feel welcome to register even if you do not wish to present, free of charge. If you plan on attending, we ask that you register even if you do not plan to present so we have an idea of how much food to buy. If you have any questions feel free to direct them to [email protected]. In addition, please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone else who may be interested! BACBS 2013 Mission Statement: To bring together emerging, developing and established professionals in the greater field of conservation.
