Conference Announcement: Chick meeting
Posted by Raj Ladher, on 1 February 2011
The 4th international chick meeting will be held in Sendai, Northern Japan, from August 29th to September 2nd, 2011. The meeting aims to build on previous meetings consolidating the links between the different disciplines within the bird community, exploring new frontiers in avian research and developing key community resources. The program is still being finalized, but session topics are listed on the website, and we are really happy that the plenary lecturers have all accepted. Despite the packed schedule, there will be plenty of chances for informal interactions, and break-out meeting. You can download the poster here.

Thanks for posting this! That’s a lovely poster, too: simple and effective.
Thanks. Yukiko, a postdoc in Guojun Sheng’s lab, told me that she had great fun taking the photo.
Due to the Earthquake, this meeting is being postponed for at least a year. We’ll be trying our best to hold it in Sendai in 2012, primarily to show solidarity to the area. However, a final decision on the venue will be made in a few months when, hopefully, the problems with Fukushima’s nuclear power plant are resolved.
That’s too bad, but understandable! Hopefully the area will be ready for meetings again in 2012.
