Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce this year's Early Career Scientist Symposium, to be held Saturday, April 16, 2011 at the Blau Auditorium at the Ross School of Business on the campus of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The theme this year will be "Infectious Disease across Scales". Our outstanding lineup of up-and-coming field leaders will address diverse ecological and evolutionary aspects of host-pathogen and -parasite systems from within individual hosts to the broad community of multiple hosts and pathogens. The keynote address will be given by Prof. Steven Frank of the University of California at Irvine, who will describe "Three unsolved puzzles in infectious disease".
Register to attend and obtain more information by going to http://sitemaker.umich.edu/ecss2011/home. Registration is free of charge but we strongly encourage you to register so we may provide adequate food and refreshment. Graduate students from all universities and all disciplines are invited to present their work during a lunchtime poster session. Further information on posters will be forthcoming. Lunch will be provided at the poster session and a dinner reception will follow the symposium. Looking forward to your participation, Aaron King on behalf of the 2011 ECSS organizing committee: Aaron King, Mercedes Pascual, Pej Rohani, Andres Baeza, Micaela Martinez-Bakker, Gail Kuhnlein -- Aaron A.
