Hi everyone!
We are pleased to invite you all to the Pacific Ecology and Evolution Conference (PEEC), hosted at Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre.
PEEC 2020 will take place on February 21st-23rd, 2020. For those who are not yet aware, PEEC is an annual conference that provides a unique opportunity for early-career scientists to gather, exchange ideas and seek collaborations with peers from across Western Canada and the United States in a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment.
There will be lots of exciting talks, posters, and a plenary from our keynote speaker Dr. Tara Martin.
In previous years, presentations have covered a wide range of environmental topics, including salmon biology, species at risk monitoring, fisheries and aquaculture management, marine protected areas, terrestrial and avian ecology, climate change impacts and more. And of course, there will be a party on Saturday night! This year’s party theme is Symbiosis, so this is a perfect chance to collaborate on your costumes.
We also have two exciting workshops lined up this year: Why you should use citizen science (including field trips to Pachena Bay and Brady’s Beach) and a Kiixin village excursion (guided by Huu-ay-aht Traditional Knowledge Holder Stella M Peters).
Anyone planning on attending PEEC must register by January 28th, 2020. Registration is $250 for the conference, including ferry transportation, two nights of accommodation, and meals throughout the weekend. Swag bags are an additional $5, and the Kiixin village excursion is an additional $16. Just fill out the registration form here, and e-transfer conference fees to peec41@gmail.com.
See our website for more information about the conference and email peec.conference@gmail.com if you have any questions. Hope to see you all there!
Cheers!
