The fifth annual Mathematics in the Plant Sciences Study Group (MPSSGV)
needs plant problems!
http://www.cpib.ac.uk/events/mpssg/
Are you a plant biologist who would like to see what mathematical modelling
could do for your research? MPSSGV could be your first step.
Hosted by GARNet and the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology, these
meetings enable biologists from any area of plant and crop science to
present their research questions to around forty mathematicians and computer
scientists. The modellers form groups and, with the input of the biologist,
spend the four days tackling the problem. A great deal of progress is made
in a very short time!
The next meeting will take place 3-6 January 2012 at the University of
Nottingham. Problems tackled at the previous four study groups have resulted
in successful grant proposals, publications, studentships, and frequently
generate new angles on the original research question. We welcome problems
from any area of plant and crop science, and although the problem must be
amenable to modelling approaches, no prior experience of mathematical
modelling is required.
If you would like to get a feel for the problems presented at previous
meetings, please visit: http://www.cpib.ac.uk/events/mpssg/
We are accepting problem submissions now - if you are interested in getting
involved, please contact Susie Lydon ([log in to unmask]), Ruth Bastow
([log in to unmask]) or Rosemary Dyson ([log in to unmask]).
