Each year SEEC is hosted by a different > southeastern university and is organized by and geared toward students. > SEEC is a professional meeting intended for early-career researchers in > ecology, evolution, and related fields to present their research to their > colleagues in a comfortable, fun, and relaxed atmosphere. Typically 200-300 > students give or attend formal presentations and find SEEC to be a valuable > forum for sharing research and connecting with other young researchers in > the region. This event is designed to encourage new friendships within our > field and to share newly developed research ideas for feedback. While we > expect most SEEC participants to be from the Southeast, we encourage and > welcome all interested individuals to submit abstracts and/or attend. > > SEEC 2011 homepage: http://gump.auburn.edu/seec2011/ > > > > Early registration for this year’s conference will be $25.00 before February > 11th and covers meeting attendance, two continental breakfasts, > dinner/social Saturday evening, snacks, coffee, and a t-shirt!

Dr. Alan Wilson received his Ph.D. in Applied Biology from the > Georgia Institute of Technology in 2006. After spending a year as a > research investigator at the Cooperative Institute for Limnology and > Ecosystems Research (CILER) jointly housed at the University of Michigan and > NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL), Alan joined > the faculty at Auburn University (AU) as a tenure-track Assistant Professor > in 2007. He is jointly appointed in the Departments of Fisheries and Allied > Aquacultures & Biological Sciences. Alan is a community ecologist whose > research interests revolve around the ecological mechanisms mediating > harmful freshwater algal blooms. He is particularly interested in > understanding how within-species genetic and phenotypic variation influences > community structure and ecosystem function. Alan is also initiating > projects aimed at understanding how toxic algal blooms influence human and > livestock health. You can learn more about Alan’s research at > http://wilsonlab.com/ > > Auburn University is located in downtown Auburn, Alabama and is convenient > to numerous hotels, restaurants, and bars (to see what’s happening in > Auburn, check out these sites www.oanews.com, www.thecornernews.com and > www.auburnalabama.org).
