SICB Annual Meeting 2018 January 3-7, 2018 San Francisco, CA Symposium: Illuminating the Evolution of Endocrine System Variation Through Large-Scale Comparative Analyses Hormones are central regulators of organismal function and flexibility, mediating the expression of an array of phenotypic traits from early development through senescence. Hormones play critical roles in many important processes, including coping […]

SICB Annual Meeting 2018 January 3-7, 2018 San Francisco, CA Symposium: Spatial Scale and Structural Heterogeneity in Skeletal Muscle Performance Biological movement is an inherently dynamic system driven by a complex and multi-scaled, highly structured tissue: muscle. Classic muscle physiology has resulted in a wonderfully detailed understanding of muscle performance at very specific spatial levels […]

SICB Annual Meeting 2018 January 3-7, 2018 San Francisco, CA Symposium: Sensory Feedback and Animal Locomotion: Perspectives from Biology and Biorobotics The locomotor appendages of animals, from insect wings to tetrapod limbs, perform dual roles as sensors and propulsors, and mechanosensory feedback has been shown to be critical to an animal’s motor performance. Through a […]

SICB Annual Meeting 2018 January 3-7, 2018 San Francisco, CA Symposium: Science in the Public Eye: Leveraging Partnerships Overview This symposium offers scientists the opportunity to consider a powerful way to connect with the public, one that multiplies and amplifies their outreach efforts. An extensive network of informal educators in museums, protected lands, and zoos […]

SICB Annual Meeting 2018 January 3-7, 2018 San Francisco, CA Symposium: Science Through Narrative: Engaging Broad Audiences (SICB Wide) Thank you for helping to make this symposium a success! If you attended any or all of the symposium (main session, complimentary sessions, workshop), please take a moment to share your thoughts in this brief anonymous […]

SICB Annual Meeting 2018 January 3-7, 2018 San Francisco, CA Symposium: Measuring Biodiversity and Extinction – Present and Past Changing biodiversity is a major concern for all biologists. Anthropogenic changes to our planet are decreasing species diversity through the negative impacts of pollution, habitat destruction, direct extirpation of species, and climate change. Mass extinction events […]
