Dear Members of the Zoological Society of Japan

This summer, the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry Young Researchers' Association will hold the 2nd Next-Generation Insect Frontier Research Meeting.
https://jscpb-younger.org/insect-frontier/ (Event HP)

Since last year, our society has been holding in-person, interdisciplinary research meetings that cross academic boundaries—covering behavioral science, ecology, taxonomy, evolutionary biology, and physiology—with the aim of strengthening connections among young researchers interested in the study of "bugs" (small arthropods in general).
We are widely recruiting participants from all over the country, ranging from first-year undergraduate students who have not yet started research to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and we would greatly appreciate it if you could share this information with those around you.

[Schedule]
Thursday, August 24, 2023, 13:00-17:00 (Optional networking session: 18:00-20:00)

[Venue]
Nagoya University, Higashiyama Campus, School of Science Building A, A222 (OKAZAKI MEMORIAL LECTURE ROOM)

Target
Undergraduate to graduate students, postdocs, and others interested in the study of "bugs" (small arthropods)
* You do not need to be a member of the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry.

[Content]
All participants will give a presentation of 10 minutes or less (scheduled) to make the subsequent discussion meaningful.
Registration form (deadline: 8/13):https://forms.gle/yv7YA4825h5krMZi9

* A travel subsidy will be provided (paid from the budget allocated to the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry Young Researchers' Association. If you need a receipt, please contact us in advance).
The program will be shared only with the participants as soon as they are decided.
Please be advised that the information shared during this event must not be disclosed to outside parties.
