The opening of the ATBC-OTS 2013 meeting is rapidly approaching. We are pleased to announce a pdf version of the Official Meeting Program, Online Personal Scheduler and a Online Session Browser available through the following page.
We now close online sign-up functions for workshops and field trips. People who have signed up for the field trips will hear from the OTS-BioCurso coordinator, Ms. Helenia Salazar. If you have to cancel or modify your field trip options, please contact Ms. Salazar as soon a possible. Unfortunately, some of the field trips offered by OTS-BioCurso may have to be cancelled because much less number of people signed up than the minimum number required. A full refund and alternative suggestions will be given to you if your trip must be cancelled by the BioCurso. If you have to cancel your participation, you will receive partial refund.

The International Day for Biological Diversity |
|
Posted 22 May 2013 |
The United Nations has proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase  understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. When first created by the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly in late 1993, 29 December (the date of entry into force of the Convention of Biological Diversity), was designated The International Day for Biological Diversity. In December 2000, the UN General Assembly adopted 22 May as IDB, to commemorate the adoption of the text of the Convention on 22 May 1992 by the Nairobi Final Act of the Conference for the Adoption of the Agreed Text of the Convention on Biological Diversity. This was partly done because it was difficult for many countries to plan and carry out suitable celebrations for the date of 29 December, given the number of holidays that coincide around that time of year.

Posted 17 May 2013 |
The Kursar/Coley lab at the University of Utah is looking for a Ph.D. ecologist  or chemical ecologist with an interest in plant-herbivore interactions. A background in chemistry is useful but not essential. This could include analytical chemistry, metabolomics, chemoinformatics, or the use of statistical packages for the analysis of large data sets from LC-MS or GC-MS.
The primary responsibility will be the analysis by LC-MS of the secondary metabolites, including non-protein amino acids, saponins and highly diverse phenolics, of multiple species in a genus of tropical tree, Inga, in a project funded by NSF. Our lab owns and has full-time access to a Waters I-class UPLC with a Xevo-G2 Q-ToF detector. The position also entails care of the LC-MS. All maintenance is covered by contract with Waters. The ideal candidate will have an excellent record of publication. The position also entails interacting with graduate students and co-supervision of undergraduates.
