________________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 08 November 2014 09:20 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Conference: Tuscany.Quantitative_Genetics_Genomics_Gordon_Research_Seminar_Conference.Feb21-27 We're inviting applications for the 2015 Quantitative Genetics & Genomics Gordon Research Seminar (February 21-22 in Tuscany, Italy), followed by the Quantitative Genetics & Genomics Gordon Research Conference (February 22-27). http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=3D15733 The seminar will feature 10 talks by outstanding PhD students and post-docs, selected from abstracts submitted by 21 November. The talks at the conference are given by world-renowned scientists - the topics and speakers are listed below. Both the seminar and conference provide a unique forum for young researchers to interact with each other and with leaders in genetics of human, animal, plant, model organism, and natural populations. To this end, attendance at the conference is capped at 180 participants. This means you really get a chance to talk to everyone from breakfast to the drinks after dinner - interaction is key at this meeting. Apply to the Gordon Research Seminar before 21 November to give a talk. The best talk will be awarded a prize in recognition. We hope to see you at the seminar! 2015 Quantitative Genetics & Genomics Gordon Research Seminar Chairs Julia Steinberg (University of Oxford) Frank Albert (UCLA) ------------------------------------------------------- Program for the 2015 Quantitative Genetics & Genomics Gordon Research Seminar - Keynote by Peter Visscher (The University of Queensland, Australia) - 10 Speakers To Be Selected from Submitted Abstracts - Discussion leaders: Kathleen Donohue (Duke University), Michel Georges (University of Liege, Belgium), James Holland (North Carolina State University), Tuuli Lappalainen (New York Genome Center).
