Northeast Ecology and Evolution Conference (NEEC)

Northeast Ecology and Evolution Conference (NEEC):
 University of Connecticut, Storrs, March 26-28, 2004.
 
 The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at the University of Connecticut will host the second
 Northeast Ecology and Evolution Conference (NEEC) this Spring. Entirely organized by graduate students, NEEC 2004 will
feature talks and posters by grads, post-docs, and upper -level undergraduates from many fields of biology, including the
botanical sciences. The inaugural NEEC, hosted by Rutgers University in 2003, attracted participants from more than 40
institutions. 
 
 The Saturday science program will be followed by a banquet featuring a Keynote Address by Dr. Michael
 Soule, Professor Emeritus in Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz. Dr. Soule is a
 founder of the Society of Conservation Biology and the Wildlands Project.
 
 Access will be provided during the conference to the University?s recently-opened Systematic Research
 Collections facility, the new home of the George Safford Torrey Herbarium and UConn?s Paleobotany
 collection.
 
 NEEC 2004 represents a fantastic networking opportunity for the region?s grads, as well as a
 chance to introduce the next generation of biologists to the research of their peers.  
 
 Conference information, including registration materials and the call for papers, can be found at
