3-8 July
We hope you enjoyed attending the 2021 Society for Molecular Biology & Evolution meeting which took place virtually 3-8 July 2021!
SMBE 2021 ran across three geographical hubs. We hoped in this way to make the conference as accessible as possible across our global community. All presentations were pre-recorded and discussion rooms were available for all participants to interact live online with speakers. There were also be designated poster space and live interactive poster sessions.
SMBE is pleased to announce that videos from the 2021 Graduate Student Symposium, SMBE Presidential Addresses, SMBE Business Meeting and the 2021 SMBE Faculty Awards Symposium have been posted to the SMBE YouTube Channel. A “mini program” may be found HERE with links to view the presentations.
- The online program is no longer available.
