- Genes & Behavior 2008
-
Feb 24, 2008 - Feb 29, 2008,
Il Ciocco, Lucca, Toscana ItalyOne of the major challenges of the post-genomic era is to understand the genetic contributions to variation in complex traits, including behavior. This understanding is necessary for compelling biological and biomedical reasons. This information is critical to further progress in the central fields of evolutionary biology and neuroscience, because behavior stands at the crucial interface of the animal's internal machinery and its response to the environment. Behavioral biology is vibrant and productive but is a fragmented discipline. In one arena, a handful of laboratory-based behaviors and a few model organisms dominate the field of molecular neuroscience and behavioral genetics. In another arena, behavioral ecology focuses on naturally occurring behavior and how it evolves, but pays little attention to the underlying neural and genetic substrates. While it is important that these individual specialties continue to be pursued with vigor, we believe that a deeper understanding of the relationship between genes and behavior will require an active integration of both approaches and perspectives. In the third conference our diverse sets of genetic, molecular, genomic, neurobiological, evolutionary and ecological interests and approaches will merge on the theme of the behavioral phenotype.

- Vision 2020
-
Feb 24, 2008 - Feb 27, 2008,
Hilton Dubai, Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab EmiratesThe recent rise of global energy demand created a shortage of skilled professionals in the energy industry as producing and service companies increased their capital budgets to boost production.
Furthermore, senior professionals and experts are reaching retirement age and their number is falling and it will be drastically reduced in the near future. This has created opportunities for E&P Young Professionals to advance their career as more responsibilities are given.
By 2020, many current professionals in the industry will have retired. All eyes will be on the Young Professionals to lead the industry into the future and now is the time to prepare.
The average age of SPE members, one of the largest E&P professional societies, is 47 years old. This indicates that by the year 2020, the majority of the industry's professionals will be retired and they will be replaced by a new generation. That new generation is the current Young Professionals. In order to lead the industry in the future, Young Professionals need to recognize the complex issues facing our industry and prepare to meet current and emerging challenges. Success will require adapting to technological changes and maintaining high competency and skill levels. - full details
