Update from the President

Siobhan O'Brien | June 19th, 2013

I hope you are as excited as we are about EMPSEB this year! We have a fantastic dedicated team of organisers so if you have any questions about the event please don't hesitate to email us. We have organised a really great conference, with a few unusual twists that will involve the Cornish community,a ship museum and having fun in indoor tropical biomes! A welcome pack will be sent out to you in July with information on our various events and excursion, the venue and travel details. At the moment, Emma is putting her artistic skills to the test by designing our abstract books and posters, David is trying to persuade lots of companies to give us money, and Sheridan is locked in a room somewhere sorting out fee payments and receipts!

See you in 75 days!

Website update and speaker lineup change

Michael Hawkes | June 17th, 2013

As you may have noticed we've had a slight website redesign to give you guys easier access to the information you need in the run up to EMPSEB19. All the important details you need to do with the organisation and logistics of the conference can be found under the Event Details tab, and everything to do with additional activities can be found under the Activities tab. We will continue to update this news feed with information as and when it becomes available, particularly closer to the conference, so check back often!

We're also sorry to announce that Dan Nussey and Shakti Lamba are no longer able to speak at EMPSEB19 due to scheduling conflicts. We were all looking forward to their talks exploring variation in the ageing process, and the evolution of sociality and culture in humans but wish them the best of luck!

On the bright side, we've just added more details about the two workshops that we will be running during the conference. If you have any questions please e-mail secretary@empseb19.com, tweet @empseb19, or leave us a comment on facebook.
