Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Assessing Genomic Changes in Response to Dynamic Environments

July 29 - 30, 2023
Chairs and
Bryant University
1150 Douglas Pike
Smithfield, Rhode Island, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
