Dear friends,
We are very pleased to announce that the 59th Joint Atlantic Seminar for the History of Biology will be hosted at Rice University in Houston, Texas on April 4 and 5.
General registration is now open here.
This one-day workshop offers graduate students in the history of the life sciences the opportunity to present their work to a well-informed audience of faculty and fellow students in an informal and encouraging setting. For many of us, it was the place where we presented our first scholarly paper. The seminar format highlights the work of graduate students and early-career scholars, and introduces JAS-Bio presenters to an engaged community of relevant scholars drawn from key scholarly institutions across the Atlantic seaboard and beyond.
All students accepted for presentation at the meeting are having their domestic travel and lodging expenses (or at least subsidized in the case of international students coming from farther away) covered by generous support from Rice’s Humanities Research Center, the Science and Technology Studies program, the Department of History, and the JAS-Bio Trust at Consortium for Health, Science, Technology and Medicine.
The call for submissions has now closed, but general registration to attend the meeting is now open for all non-presenting attendees. Please register here. (This link also contains information about booking the discounted hotel group rate.)
