Hi ASPS members,
The local ASPS organising committee would like to gently remind you that early bird registration for ComBio 2022 (Melbourne, 27-30th Sept) closes June 24th.
This conference is a great opportunity to meet friends and colleagues face-to-face after long periods of zoom-based interactions.
As per usual there is an excellent line up of plenary speakers. The highlight being Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna and the two plant-specific speakers Siobhan Brady and Niko Geldner.
Attached (ComBio2022TT) is an outline of the program.
The plant stream symposia are as follows:
EXTRACELLULAR MATRICES
PLANT DEVELOPMENT
PLANT GENOMICS, GENETICS & GENE EDITING
FROM LAB TO FIELD
PHOTOSYNTHESIS & CARBOHYDRATES
PLANT WATER TRANSPORT & UTILIZATION
PLANT SUCCESS – ENLISTING THE POWER OF MODELS
REPRODUCTION & SEED BIOLOGY

Importantly, there is also ASPS student travel support for conference attendance (application due 4 July 2022):

As a small favour could we ask you to print out the attached ComBio2022 flyer and distribute in your department/institute to help with advertising.
Please do come along and enjoy the science, cold/wet Melbourne and the opportunity to socialise.
Looking forward to seeing you all,
John/Ros (ASPS – LOC ComBio)
