The American Society of Naturalists invites graduate students, postdocs, faculty and other professionals from ecology, evolution, behavior, genetics, physiology, and associated fields to a stand alone meeting at the Asilomar Conference Grounds on January 3-7, 2020. This meeting will celebrate the unique ability of ASN to unify broad conceptual themes across biology by integrating theory with data and by using new technological tools to address long-standing questions. In short, this conference will showcase what it means to be a naturalist and researcher in the 21st century.
This conference is unique because it involves a small number of participants (200 people) interacting closely over meals, scientific talks, and casual conversations in a beautiful natural setting on the shore of the Monterey Peninsula. The scientific program will consist of posters, 15-minute talks, and 5-minute lightning talks, in addition to three symposia in the afternoons. Lightning talks will also include five minutes for questions, so are helpful for getting feedback and starting a conversation. Evening activities will include a presidential debate, a natural history trivia contest, and interactions around a bonfire. More information is available at www.amnat2020.com.
