Ancient DNA Symposium - first announcement

[gravendeel]

Dear friends,

The Leiden University community will be host to an ancient DNA symposium
next month that will take place in the Auditorium of the Naturalis National
Natural History Museum at Darwinweg 2 in Leiden, The Netherlands, on the
9th of March.

For this event we have brought together some of the best researchers in
this rapidly growing field from all over Europe to present their research
on DNA isolated from museum collections and discuss potential applications.

The presentations will cover a wide variety of disciplines that incorporate
ancient DNA techniques, including archaeology, botany, paleoecology, human
and animal migration, evolution, and crop origins. Admission is free. More
information can be found at: http://www.naturalis.nl

yours sincerely,
Barbara Gravendeel
