2022 Great Lakes Annual meeting of Evolutionary Genomics
August 13, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
We are delighted to have the GLAM-Evogen symposium back in person. It will be held on August 13, 2022, at the University at Buffalo. The keynote speaker will be Dr. April Wei from Cornell University.
Saturday, August 13, 2022
SYMPOSIUM DETAILS
Location: The GLAM will happen in the Center For The Arts at the University at Buffalo, North Campus.Â
Parking: Saturday parking is free on the North Campus. The closest parking lots are Slee or Baird Lots
The program: Our registration will start on Saturday, August 13 @8:30 am and the first talk session will start @9:30 am. Click for the full program.
Presentation information:
Posters: Our boards are 48″ wide by 36″ long. Please print accordingly. I highly recommend practicing a 5-minute walkthrough for your posters as it will be a busy meeting. 🙂
Talks:Â The talks are planned for ~12 minutes for 2 minutes of questions. Please plan accordingly. Please send Alber (maqil@buffalo.edu) your presentations on Thursday (Aug 11) so we can upload them to the presentation computer beforehand.
Lightning talks:Â Lightning talks are a great way to highlight a poster you are presenting. Please prepare a single slide and a talk no more than 2 minutes to explain this slide. Please send Alber (maqil@buffalo.edu) your slides on Thursday (Aug 11) so we can compile and upload them to the presentation computer beforehand.
Breakfast, lunch, and coffee:Â We will provide breakfast and lunch. We will most likely have sandwiches of different sorts, including vegan options. If you have any allergies or other dietary preferences (e.g., gluten allergy), please let Omer (gokcumen@gmail.com) know. In addition, we will make sure that we have coffee and tea throughout the symposium.
Happy hour: After the symposium, we will reserve a place for those interested in staying a little longer. We plan to go to Brick House, which is 3 minutes drive to the campus. To have a rough headcount for the reservation, it would be great if you could let us know (gokcumen@gmail.com) if you are planning to stay for the happy hour.
COVID-19: We require the participants to be vaccinated and have a negative test 24 before the symposium. Within this framework, we will ask you to fill/sign a self-attestation form and provide evidence for vaccination (e.g., a photo of the vaccination card) when you arrive. We have a limited supply of rapid tests and masks for convenience.
Keynote speaker:Â April Wei, Cornell University
