Presidential Meeting 2009: Darwin to Disease; Crops and their pathogens
Oxford University Museum, 22 Sep 2009
Celebrating Darwin's 200th birthday, this special event will be held in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Speakers will include Robert Zeigler, Nick Talbot, Gero Steinberg, Ralph Panstruga, Paul Birch, Howard Atkinson, Ian Toth, Peter Dodds, Franck Takken, Jurriaan Ton and James Brown. Substantially supported by your society, the meeting will be a stimulating, informal (and low-cost!) celebration of historical perspectives and exciting developments in plant pathology. After the talks, enjoy the drinks reception among the dinosaurs, near where the famous ‘Monkey’ debate took place. Accommodation will be at Somerville College.
Online registration and further information is now available
Molecular Biology of Plant Pathogens
Somerville College, Oxford, 21 Sep 2009
A successful and popular annual meeting encouraging Ph.D students and post-doctoral researchers to present their work in an informal atmosphere. Remember, we are interested in all plant pathogens: bacteria, oomycetes, fungi, viruses etc, etc! Again supported by BSPP and other sponsors, this meeting provides exceptional value. Why not stay on an extra day and come to the Presidential meeting?.
