The annual meeting of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution will be held in Dublin next June from the 23rd to the 26th. In the coming week we will make the decisions on which symposia will be included in the final programme. This will be a great thing on one hand, because we get to see who is likely to speak at the meeting, what they are proposing to speak about and we get to see for the first time what the science is going to look like. But because we will have to turn some people down, I guess that is the downside. In any case, by Friday of this week the conference will begin to take shape for the first time and that is quite exciting. Below is a promotional video for people travelling to Ireland
