The deadline for submitting abstracts for full talks to the inaugural conference on Informatics for Phylogenetics, Evolution, and Biodiversity (iEvoBio) has been extended by one week to Thursday, April 15, 2010. We hope that this will give those interested in contributing sufficient time to do so.
Please see http://bit.ly/iEvoBio_CfA for the full Call for Abstracts and author instructions. We still expect to be able to notify accepted talks in time for the early registration deadline of iEvoBio (and Evolution).
More details about the program and guidelines for contributing content are available at http://ievobio.org. You can also find continuous updates on the conference's Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/ iEvoBio, and there is a Google group you can join at http://groups.google.com/group/ievobio-announce to receive announcements.
iEvoBio is sponsored by the US National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) in partnership with the Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB). Additional support has been provided by the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL).
