KANSAS CITY ON THE PLAZA Plan now to attend the 6th Annual "Genes in Ecology, Ecology in Genes" Symposium on November 14, 15, & 16, 2008, in Kansas City. We will convene in the Intercontinental Hotel on the beautiful Country Club Plaza on Friday at 6:00 p.m. and conclude on Sunday at noon. Ecological Genomics is a field at the interface of ecology, evolution and genomics that seeks to place the functional significance of genes and genomics into an ecological and evolutionary context.
