Summer is nearly here, so it's about time to head to the beach for a break.. . with your research!
Come out to Biology at the Beach, hosted by the Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience (located in Saint Augustine) on May 17 and enjoy a Saturday filled with casual research discussion and presentations, sunshine, eco-tours, the beach and a BBQ. Graduate students and Post-Doctoral Fellows are invited from many different departments, so anticipate learning from, and explaining your research to, a diverse audience united by curiosity and the beach.
Breakfast and registration open at 9:30 am and talks begin at 10:00, allowing time for a commute out from Gainesville. If you are interested and would like to join us, please fill out the registration survey (https://ufl.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6zdP6HYX7L1QzbL) by May 9th. Attendance to the symposium is limited, so please don't wait too long to register. All attendees are able to present research in one of three formats, providing the opportunity to practice poster and talk presentation skills (see registration survey for details). Also, indicate whether you are able to drive/carpool, as we will attempt to arrange carpools to economize transportation. Registration fees are to be collected at sign-in ($15; please, cash or check only), and will cover all food and drinks served throughout the day, but B.Y.O.B. if you prefer alcohol at the afternoon BBQ (a Publix is located about 5 mi south of the lab).
Please register using the link above and join us for a fun, casual day at the beach where we can discuss our diverse research, engage in outdoor activities, and get to know more peers from outside of our individual departments. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Gabby Winters at BiologyAtTheBeach@whitney.ufl.edu.
