[Taxacom] Symposium: Young Systematists Forum, London, 1st Dec 2010

[James Cotton]

12th YOUNG SYSTEMATISTS¢ FORUM

Wednesday 1 December 2010, starting at 9 am

Venue: Flett Lecture Theatre, Natural History Museum, London, UK

The annual Young Systematists¢ Forum represents an exciting setting  
for postgraduate students and young postdoctoral researchers to  
present their data, often for the first time, to a scientific  
audience interested in taxonomy, systematics and phylogenetics.  This  
well-established event provides an important opportunity for budding  
systematists to discuss their research in front of their peers within  
a supportive environment.  Supervisors and other established  
systematists are also encouraged to attend. Note that this Forum is  
held the day after the Molluscan Forum (www.Malacsoc.org.uk), also at  
the Natural History Museum. This has been arranged so that both  
meetings can be attended.

Prizes will be awarded for the most promising oral and poster  
presentation as judged by a small panel on the day.

Registration is FREE. Send applications by e-mail to David Bass  
(d.bass at nhm.ac.uk), supplying your name, contact address and stating  
whether or not you wish to give an oral or poster presentation.   
Space will be allocated subject to availability and for a balanced  
programme of animal, plant, algal, microbial, molecular, and other  
research. Non-participating attendees are also very welcome - please  
register as above.

Abstracts must be submitted by e-mail in English no later than 15th  
November 2010.  The body text should not exceed 150 words in length.   
If the presentation is co-authored, the actual speaker (oral) or  
presenter (poster) must be clearly indicated in BOLD text.

All registered attendants will receive by e-mail further information  
about the meeting, including abstracts, one week in advance.  This  
information will also be displayed on the Systematics Association  
website (www.systass.org).
