Theoretical and Empirical Progress Towards a Metabolic Theory of Ecology

We are pleased to announce the addition of a Gordon Research Seminar to coincide with the GRC-Metabolic Basis of Ecology conference in 2008! This program brings together graduate students and post-docs from diverse backgrounds in a relaxed setting prior (July 5th - 6th) to the start of the main GRC (July 6th - 11th). The goals of the program are to allow junior scientists to become accustomed to the format, and to help prepare them for the breadth and depth of topics covered. Further, the seminar will allow students an opportunity to exchange ideas amongst one another, providing the opportunity for collaboration among a new generation of scientists. This seminar will significantly enhance the overall experience for junior scientists, building their collegial spirit and confidence, and help them to play a more active and productive role in the conference overall. Graduate students, and post-docs please mark your calendars, and senior scientists kindly apprise your group about this unique opportunity.
