New Zealand Molecular Ecology Conference 2012

 The weekend after the New Zealand Ecological Society Conference at Lincoln University gel jockeys will be leaving their labs and heading along to the New Zealand Molecular Ecology Conference (30th Novemeber-2nd December). This conference has been happening for over a decade and usually takes about 50 people (mostly university lecturers and their postgrad students) to some place off the beaten track where they indulge in their passions for DNA, ecology, trivia, poor football skills and poorer beer. This year Lincoln University is hosting the conference at the Eyre Lodge in the Waimakariri District just north of Christchurch. A website for information and registration has now been set up. You can also contact Stephane Boyer for information.
