Subject: Call for Proposals: Host the 2021 SMB Annual Meeting

The Society for Mathematical Biology promotes the development and
dissemination of research at the interface between the mathematical and
biological sciences through its annual meetings. The Annual Meeting of the
Society for Mathematical Biology is the most important event organized and
sponsored by the Society. It is the most visible yearly event organized
by the Society and thus serves as a showcase for the goals, ambitions,
and activity of the Society.

The elected Board of Directors has opened the call to host the Society for
Mathematical Biology Annual Meeting in 2021. Prospective annual meeting
organizers should inform the President of the Society (Santiago Schnell,
Email: schnells@umich.edu) and the Society's Secretary (Amina Eladdadi,
Email: eladdadi@gmail.com) of their intentions and begin to prepare a
written proposal.  The deadline for submitting all materials is June 30th,
2017. The proposal should be sent to the Society's Secretary.

The Annual Meeting program must respond to and serve the needs of the members
of the Society, who represent diverse scientific, technical, educational, and
demographic constituencies. The Annual Meeting should accommodate conferees'
desires to share their results with colleagues; to meet and discuss personal
and collegial matters of interest; to learn about important advances in other
areas of mathematical biology; and to advance their technical, analytical,
and other skills needed for their career development goals. Special attention
must be given to the experiences of junior members of the Society who may
be attending a national or international meeting for the first time. The
Annual Meetings are generally organized in North America in odd years,
and outside North America in even years.

Subject: Forensic Entomology Workshop, NJSchool of Conservation, Branchville, NJ

Hello Everyone!

For the fifth year, the New Jersey School of Conservation together with
Montclair State University and Rutgers University is organizing a two-week
workshop on forensic entomology; the workshop will be held at the NJSchool
of Conservation, in Branchville, NJ, just about 1h from New York City. 

Forensic entomology is the study of insects associated with organic
decomposition. Students will observe and analyze the small ecosystem which is
created around and on decomposing carcasses, describe post-mortem phenomena,
collect entomological evidence and perform lab analysis to help establish
PMI (Post-Mortem Interval) or time of death. For those who are interested,
included in the workshop is also a guided visit to the Newark morgue,
where the participants will attend a lecture on common practices of legal
medicine and on how law enforcement forces handle dead bodies after they
are discovered; depending on availability, the participants will also have
the possibility to observe an autopsy.

Here is the link to the page of the workshop, where you can find the current
brochure as well as pictures and videos from the past editions: 
https://www.facebook.com/NjSchoolOfConservationForensicEntomologyWorkshop/

Participants will have two weeks of room and board, educational activities
(lectures, field work and lab work) and lots of recreational activities, such as
boating, archery and climbing.

For information please contact Denise Gemmellaro at
denise.gemmellaro@rutgers.edu 

Thank you and please feel free to pass this info to anyone who may be
interested.

http://www.multiscalebiology.org.uk/events/event/multiscale-analysis-of-host-microbe-interactions/

Start: Mon 24 April, 10:30am refreshments for first session at 11:30
Close: Tue 25 April, 14:30pm

After kick off with three keynote speakers on current challenges, the
program provides structured study groups to discuss: 1) novel methodological
approaches; 2) potential future projects requiring participants from different
disciplines; 3) the best ways to get funding for such multi-disciplinary
projects. We will facilitate these goals with short presentations and
brainstorming opportunities in coordinated team works, and with panel
discussion with representatives of key relevant funding agencies and
charities.  Detailed program coming soon.

Call for Project

In principle, any project (or project idea) that involves host-microbe
interactions is invited, even if it focuses only on the host or on
the microbe side. Potential topics include (but not limited to) biofilm
formation, rhizobiome or gut microbiome studies, antibiotic resistance,
and host-pathogen modelling. Modelling approaches on molecular or population
level are all encouraged to apply.

Funders talks and Posters

We will provide a platform to discuss field-specific questions and challenges
with key funding agencies and charities. The output ideas of the study groups
will have the chance to directly get a feedback from representatives of the
research councils and charities about potential funding ways. In parallel,
flash presentations and posters about your existing projects can also
increase the visibility of your research.

Arrangements and registration

Refreshments, lunches and dinner will be provided. There is no registration
fee but you have to register before 15th March. The MSB Network can provide
