Please register for our Green Life Science / Early Career Scientists Symposium, highlighting early career researchers working at the intersection of climate change and its consequences for green life.
Cost: FREE
The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Michigan invites registration for the 18th Annual Early Career Scientists Symposium (ECSS). This year we are excited to announce the theme “Global Change and its Consequences for Green Life." Green life (i.e. plants, algae, microbes) form the basis of productivity in most ecosystems. Understanding how environmental change can impact the ecology and evolution of green life on earth is critical to the future of most communities, ecosystems, and human societies.
The theme includes, but is not limited to:
Direct and indirect impacts of environmental change on green life survival, reproduction, and distribution
How green life can buffer the impact of global change
Evolutionary responses of green life to environmental change/stress
Green life functional traits and their environmental correlates
Agroecology
Format & Participation Opportunities:
The 2023 ECSS will be held on the 31st of March 2023 at the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Garden in Ann Arbor, MI. Six early career scientists have been selected to present their work, and two keynote speakers will be featured. All talks will be livestreamed via Zoom (link provided a week prior to symposium). The symposium will also have an evening poster session and ample time for networking at coffee breaks. All career stages are welcome to attend and present posters.
Please contact the planning committee with questions about eligibility at ecss-2023@umich.edu.
