Good morning everyone –
After the success of last years Marine Mammal Conference held here at the
University of Wisconsin, Madison, we have decided to host the 2nd WEZAM Marine
Mammal Conference this year on November 8th/9th 2008. The conference is being
sponsored by ALOKA ultrasound systems and Morris Animal Foundation. This year
the conference will consist of lectures/presentations on Saturday and Sunday
morning, and two wet lab sessions (one for all delegates on Saturday detailing
the use of ultrasound and demonstrating other clinical diagnostic methods and a
second necropsy lab on Sunday afternoon with limited access). Most exciting is
the addition of a poster session designed primarily for students undertaking
summer externships in the field of marine mammal medicine or biology.
We are inviting submission of posters from the following areas of interest:
Marine mammal wildlife health
General zoological medicine for marine mammals
Marine mammal pathology
New technologies in marine mammal health
Literature review
A general submission relating to any other marine mammal topic
Delegates submitting abstracts must register for and be present at the
conference. Registration for the conference will open during the first week of
September and will be limited. The top five abstracts submitted will have
registration reimbursed and will be guaranteed a place in the limited Sunday
afternoon necropsy wet lab. The winning poster at the conference will be
awarded an additional prize.
This is the ideal opportunity for students undertaking research during
externships/internships to gain experience in presenting posters and
demonstrate what can be achieved during such an opportunity.
Further questions or queries, or to request an electronic submission form,
please contact Dr. Sophie Dennison at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Dr. Ewan Wolff at

Thank you!
Yours,
