2/ Your preconceptions of Cleveland are probably wrong; we've visited and it's a beautiful downtown with a very nice & green () convention center. Also, super social at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with free access to all exhibits!
Hey, what are you doing 12 weeks from today? We're going to an Evening at the Natural History Museum in Albuquerque, just one of the amazing special events at the Evolution Meetings! You should come too!
Early registration and talk submission deadlines have been extended, but only by a smidge, to this Friday, May 3rd. We are close to talk capacity, so get your talk titles (+ abstracts if you want to be considered for symposia) in ASAP!
