Sent on behalf of GRC Chair Noah Whiteman:

Dear Plant-Herbivore Interaction (PHI) GRC Alums,

Along with co-Vice Chairs Betty Benrey and Micky Eubanks, I am thrilled that the next PHI GRC will take place Feb. 9-14, 2025 at a beautiful venue in Pomona, California (near the San Gabriel Mountains in the LA metro area: https://www.fs.usda.gov/visit/national-monuments/san-gabriel-mountains-national-monument). The theme this year is Unraveling the Threads of Plant-Herbivore Coevolution.

We have just about 80 days to go before the conference begins. The deadline for the PHI GRC application and registration is January 12, 2025, but please sign up as soon as possible if you plan on attending so that we can ensure that this conference continues to be successful:
https://www.grc.org/plant-herbivore-interaction-conference/2025/.

We need your help spreading the word--please forward this email to colleagues, trainees, and others who might be interested.

Note that the Gordon Research Symposium for trainees (led by Jessica Kansman and Gauri Binayak) will take place the day before the event on Feb. 8 and we have a terrific line up for this too (note that the deadline for that is Dec. 2, 2024):
https://www.grc.org/plant-herbivore-interaction-grs-conference/2025/

Based on your feedback, we moved the venue from Ventura to a more modern venue with ample outdoor areas (including a heated pool and lots of palm trees). We will be close to the California Botanical Garden (https://www.calbg.org/) as well and will have informal trips there as well as to  the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in the afternoons.

Professor Consuelo de Moraes will kick us off on Sunday night (Feb. 9) as Keynote Speaker and the program for the rest of the GRC includes topics as diverse as how herbivory by Galapagos Giant Tortoises has reshaped the terrestrial ecosystems of the Galapagos Islands to a dissection of the molecular mechanisms through which aphids manipulate host plant signaling to create galls.

We hope to see you all there!

Best wishes,

Noah Whiteman, Chair
