The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is excited to host the 3rd biennial Midwest Mathematical Biology Conference from May 19-20, 2018 in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The conference will feature three outstanding plenary speakers:
Dr. Marissa Baskett <http://www.des.ucdavis.edu/faculty/baskett/research/PI.html>, University of California, Davis Dr. Stephen Ellner <http://www.eeb.cornell.edu/Ellner/>, Cornell University Dr. John Pastor <https://scse.d.umn.edu/biology-department/faculty-staff/dr-john-pastor>, University of Minnesota - Duluth In addition, the meeting will provide ample opportunity for presenting and sharing new ideas from all areas of mathematical biology research and education. As part of the registration process, individuals may select one of two concurrent workshops with the following themes: 1. R-Bootcamp: A gentle introduction to the R programming language and its uses in mathematical biology. Lead by Dr. Eric Eager, UW-La Crosse 2. Ecological Data Science: Increasingly, ecologists require data science to study their interactions and guide natural resource management. Participants will be introduced to data science skills and how these skills can be applied to ecological systems. Lead by Dr. Richard Erickson, U.S. Geological Survey Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center Further details about the conference, abstract submission, and registration information can be found at https://www.uwlax.edu/conted/mmbc/ We hope to see you in May!
