[Pollinator] May 15th abstract deadline for International Pollinator Conference

[Christina M. Grozinger]

Just a reminder that abstracts for oral/poster presentations are due on May
15th for the International Conference on Pollinator Biology, Health, and
Policy.  The conference will be held at Penn State from August 14-17,
2013.  More info on the conference, including a schedule of sessions,
invited speakers and online registration, can be found at:
http://agsci.psu.edu/pollinator-conference

We have a tremendous group of internationally renowned speakers, covering
topics from neurobiology, behavior, physiology, health, ecosystems services
and ecology, in multiple species of pollinators.  There will be a session
on "Evolving Policies Related to Pesticides and Pollinator Conservation",
which will feature presentations from policymakers, nonprofit, industry and
stakeholder groups from Europe, Canada and the US.  And finally, Haagan
Dazs has donated ice cream for the coffee breaks/lunches, so everyone will
have enough energy to absorb all this great information, network, and
develop new collaborations.  We are also grateful for the generous support
of Wyman's, Bayer, Syngenta, Ernst Conservation Seeds, BASF, and the Penn
State Center for Pollinator Research, Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences,
College of Agricultural Sciences, and Department of Entomology.

Additionally, there will be a Xerces Pollinator Conservation Short Course
at Penn State on August 14, the Society for Invertebrate Pathology Annual
Meeting in Pittsburgh, PA on August 11-15, and the Eastern Apicultural
Society Annual Meeting in West Chester, PA on August 5-9.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me (Christina
Grozinger, cmg25 at psu.edu) or the other conference organizers, Chris Mullin (
camullin at psu.edu) or Neal Williams (nmwilliams at ucdavis.edu)!
