Personal Schedule
The Year 2003 Annual Meeting for the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) is an educational and research forum for scientists and students studying the biological sciences. The meeting will include many symposia, workshops and special programs in addition to hundreds of contributed papers in divisional and topical sessions. Watch this web site for Schedule of Events updates and the posting of abstracts in October, 2002.
Opening Session - Past Presidential Address
Join us for the Opening Session featuring Martin E. Feder, Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy, The University of Chicago, on Saturday, January 4, from 6:30-7:30 pm. He will speak on "Days of Miracle and Wonder: The Future of Integrative and Comparative Biology."
Professor Feder's research is on evolutionary physiology and adaptation, and exploits emerging synergies among integrative biology, molecular biology, and genome-enabled science. His talk will explore how new modes of integration - scientific, social, and electronic - may revolutionize how we think about organisms. See: pondside.uchicago.edu/~feder/Martin_Feder.html
Special Symposia
In addition to the wide variety of divisional symposia, there will be one Society-wide symposium: Selection and Evolution of Performance in Nature. In addition, there will be two symposia that are co- sponsored with the Canadian Society of Zoology: Comparative Biology of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) and Hormones and MetabolismA Fishy Perspective and one Official CSZ Symposium: Biology of the Canadian Arctic.
