This year's meeting of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution will take place at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia (conference webpage). I'm going, and so are Reed Cartwright and Jason Stajich. Additionally, Rosie Redfield and John Logsdon have each been invited to give a talk at the conference. As you can see, there will be a blogger presence at the meeting.

Are you going to the conference? If you are (whether you're a blogger or not), you should join the SMBE 2007 group on the Nature Network. And if you haven't already signed up for the Nature Network (it's like Facebook for science dorks), set up an account and add yourself to the SMBE 2007 group.

I think I'm cursed. Or I have bad luck. Or conference organizers think I'm a morning person. Alright, so maybe I really am a morning person. But that's besides the point. Because it sucks to give a talk on a Saturday morning. Saturday mornings should be reserved for things like Belgian waffles,…
After driving through the night, we got home from Halifax this morning. The SMBE meeting was excellent as usual, and I agree with Dan Hartl that it's the best meeting for evolutionary genetics. With excellent talks and posters on topics ranging from population genetics to comparative genomics (and…
The University of Iowa is hosting next year's meeting of the Society of Molecular Biology and Evolution, SMBE 2009. I usually go to the annual SMBE conference, and I was probably going to attend SMBE 2009. Now I'm definitely going. Why? Because John Logsdon just announced that they'll be hosting a…
I think I have a profile on Friendster - I don't know, I haven't checked since 2003. I have bare-bones profiles on MySpace, LinkedIn and Change.Org and I will get an e-mail if you "friend" me (and will friend you back), but I do not have time to spend on there. I refuse to even look at all the…

OK, I joined this Nature Networks thing and posted a reply to the meetup suggestion.

But there's almost nobody and nothing happening at the Nature Networks site. Is this because it's very very new? Can there really be so few science dorks? Or is what it's offering not really what anyone wants?

And why, when I search it for "SMBE" or "SMBE 2007", does it claim this group doesn't exist?

I can't figure out why the group doesn't show up in searches.

Jacob, go to the Nature Network page and add a comment. We're trying to put together a meet-up.

Same thing for you Reed -- add yourself and Prof. S. Steve to the list.
