This is the last announcement for the full day workshop Lost in Translation: The Science-Policy Intersect on Sunday, October 11, 2009 to be held in association with the SMM's 18th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals in Quebec City, Canada.
Lost in Translation: The Science-Policy Intersect This workshop will address questions regarding whether, when, and how scientists should become involved in the policy arena. After presentations by scientists and a legal expert experienced in working with marine conservation policy issues, the workshop will break into moderated open discussion for the afternoon. Please see the full synopsis for the workshop on the SMM conference web site. Our speakers will be Dr. Naomi Rose, Andrew Wright, Dr. Lance Barrett-Lenard, Dr. Tim Ragen, and Dr. Howard Schiffman. The full program will be sent to registered participants at least one week before the workshop. To register for this workshop, please go to the SMM web site at: http://www.marinemammalogy.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=categor y&id=918&Itemid=215 <http://www.marinemammalogy.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=catego ry&id=918&Itemid=215> The workshop will take place on Sunday, October 11, 2009 from 8:30am to 5:30pm in Room 207. There will be a registration fee of $35.00US, which will include breakfast (starting at 8am) and coffee breaks - payment (cash or check in US currency) will be collected at the door. Given the large number of workshops being offered at this biennial, if you can attend for only a half-day (no breakfast), we will charge a half-day fee of $10.00US. We have been fortunate to secure a small amount of funding and can now offer student members a discount of $5US on the full-day fee. Student registration for the workshop is therefore $30US. Depending on various factors, we may be able to offer a further discount to students at the door. Please bring proof of your student status to the workshop to obtain the discount. We look forward to seeing you there. Naomi A.
