In-Reply-To: <1140405840588.1119812058661.2139026985.0.390900JL.2002@synd.ccsend.com> References: <1140405840588.1119812058661.2139026985.0.390900JL.2002@synd.ccsend.com> Message-ID: My colleague Menaka Wilhelm was in touch last week about forwarding a meeting announcement to your department ? here it is: *Don't miss the New Lineages of Life Symposium in Berkeley!* This August, the DOE Joint Genome Institute will host a 2-day symposium on novel microbial diversity. Presenters will focus on both computational and experimental methods to understand newly discovered bacteria, archaea and microeukaryotes. We're still accepting abstracts for posters and 15-minute flash talks ? we welcome researchers of all career stages to consider presenting. Find more information below. For questions, please see our FAQ section , or reach out to Lauren Belisario (lnbelisario at lbl.gov). The NeLLi Symposium coincides with the JGI's 2023 Annual Genomics of Energy & Environment Meeting from Aug. 21-25. The deadline for poster abstracts and in-person registration for that meeting is Aug. 6. For short-talk consideration, submit your poster abstract by Aug. 1. For questions, please see our FAQ section or contact Tanja Woyke ( twoyke at lbl.gov). Thank you! The deadline for flash talk abstracts and in-person registration is Aug. 8 Don?t miss the New Lineages of Life Symposium Aug. 24-25! Our speakers showcase recent expansions of the Tree of Life, as well as discoveries toward the evolution of cellular complexity and microbial symbiosis. New Lineages and New Functions ? Laura Hug, University of Waterloo ? Fabien Burki, Uppsala University Microbial Symbioses ? Rebecca Batstone, McMaster University ? Patrick Keeling, University of British Columbia Evolution of Cellular Complexity ? Sergio Munoz Gomez, Purdue University ? Anja Spang, NIOZ Methods to Discover the Undiscovered ? Nicole Poulton, Bigelow Laboratory of Ocean Sciences ? Roland Hatzenpichler, Montana State University NeLLi 2023 will also showcase cutting-edge experimental approaches, computational innovations and other technological advancements that facilitate the shift from uncovering microbial novelties to deciphering metabolic and functional capabilities. The deadline for flash talk abstracts and in-person registration is Aug. 8. REGISTER for NeLLi 2023 SUBMIT a flash talk abstract Click here for more info about the 2023 JGI Annual Meeting.
