Harbor Symposium
on Quantitative Biology
May 27 - June 1, 2009
Abstract
Deadline: March 6, 2009
Organizers:
David Stewart, Bruce
Stillman & Jan Witkowski
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
We are pleased to host the 74th Cold Spring Harbor Symposium
which will address Evolution:
The Molecular Landscape. The Symposium will
begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 and end with a banquet

with normal departure on the following morning.
The Symposium will include 12 oral sessions and 2

the talks will be given by invited speakers but we intend to award several
Symposium fellowships to younger scientists presenting work through openly
submitted abstracts who will earn the opportunity to present their latest
work in the form of short talks. Social events throughout the Symposium
provide ample opportunity for informal interactions and will include a
wine-and-cheese party, a beach picnic, cocktails and banquet, and departure
brunch.

We are
accepting abstracts for consideration as poster or Symposium Fellows
presentations (see below). Abstracts should contain only new and
unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Status of abstracts will be posted on our web site as
soon as decisions have been made by the organizers
The
Symposium Fellows program will award eight fellowships selected from the
submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit to outstanding young
investigators (grad students, postdocs and less-than-five year principle
investigators only) who will be provided with registration, room and board
costs of attending the meeting and will be invited to present their
research as short talks at the Symposium..
We look forward to seeing you at Cold
Spring Harbor
in May/June.

The Symposium
is supported in part by funds provided by CSHL's Corporate Sponsor
Program, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science
Foundation.

We have funds
to provide partial scholarships for individuals who are US
citizens/permanent residents from minority
groups under-represented in the life sciences. Please
provide justification in writing to meetings@cshl.edu
and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those
applying who submit abstracts.

We
are also offering Symposium participants the opportunity to
pre-order the Symposium Proceedings (paperback;

Spring Harbor Press in Spring 2010; $126.00). The Symposium
Proceedings is one of the most historic series in the biological
sciences, and will feature 20-25 pp articles by the majority
of presenting authors (see list above).
