5th Annual Northern Plains Biological SymposiumDate: April 11th, 2008Location: NDSU Skills and Technology CenterFeaturing a keynote address byDr. John Janovy, Jr.,of the University of Nebraska-LincolnThe Northern Plains Biological Symposium began in 2003 by a group of students and faculty at North Dakota State University (NDSU). This group initiated the first symposium with several goals in mind. Those goals are to facilitate an open discourse on relevant topics in the field of biological sciences, to provide opportunities for local undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty to present their research in a professional setting, and to expose graduate presenters to a friendly, intellectual audience. The symposium is also designed to help local undergraduate students become exposed to aspects of a graduate and/or professional life in the biological sciences. We hope that the symposium will help bring in more graduate students to not only the area, but also to the field of biological sciences. The BSGSA feels that this symposium provides a stepping stone for research in and around the area. Overall, we wanted to create an atmosphere where people in the area who are interested and excited about the field of biology could gather and share ideas. The symposium attempts to bring together area researchers of all levels. Registration:Registration is free and all who plan on coming are encouraged to register early so that we may get an accurate count for attendance.
