On February 24th 2018, the Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases at the University of Georgia is hosting a special symposium on the population biology of vector-borne diseases. This event will feature 17 lectures from a world-class group of scientists, a catered lunch, poster session, and reception. This event will be held at the Odum School of Ecology in Athens, GA.
This is a great opportunity for practicing scientists and students to hear from leaders in the fields of biology, ecology, veterinary medicine, entomology, epidemiology, biostatistics, and geography, whose work focuses on the rapidly growing field of vector-borne diseases. Following the individual lectures, our speakers will form a panel to discuss the future directions of this field and a closing poster session and reception will provide the opportunity to spark future collaborative research. For more information on our speakers, topics, registration, and travel information, visit http://ceid.uga.edu/vector-symposium/ A student travel scholarship is available to alleviate costs associated with attendance. Applications will be accepted through Monday February 5th using the form found at http://ceid.uga.edu/vector-symposium/422-2/ Questions can be directed to: Mr. Trippe Ross ([email protected]) Administrative Specialist Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases
