[Taxacom] FW: 66th Annual Missouri Botanical Garden Fall Symposium - REGISTRATION DEADLINE approaching soon

[Monica Carlsen-Krause]

Hi everyone,

REGISTRATION DEADLINE (October 8th) is approaching soon!

The Missouri Botanical Garden will host its 66th Annual Fall Symposium entitled "The Origins and Maintenance of Neotropical Biodiversity" on October 11-12, 2019 (see attached Announcement).

The American tropics might be the most biodiverse region in the planet. Scientists are still putting together the pieces of the puzzle that explains this mega-diversity. This year's Symposium brings together a distinguished group of speakers actively working to further our understanding of the evolutionary and ecological mechanisms responsible for the generation and maintenance of species diversity in the Neotropics. The symposium will integrate approaches across scales, from large-scales studies on the diversification and evolution of clades, to local-scale research on species interactions. The program will be of interest to students of systematics, phylogeny, evolution, and conservation.

To REGISTER (<www.mobot.org/symposium>) and for more information about the symposium, speakers, registration, local accommodations, posters and travel awards for students, please follow the link or copy it to your web browser. Deadline for registration is October 8th, deadline for poster submission is September 29th!

Registration includes access to Friday evening mixer, and Saturday all-day scientific program, coffee breaks and lunch.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me (<monica.carlsen at mobot.org>), and apologies for cross-posting.

Best,
Monica.
