Dr. Caleb Bryce and I have organized a canine science symposium for the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) meeting January 3-7th, 2021 in Washington DC (http://www.sicb.org/meetings/). Attached you may find a poster with a list of the speakers for our symposium which will be held January 7th, 2021.
Abstracts will be due late August to early September 2020. You do not have to be a SICB member to attend this meeting, and you can also register to attend for a single day.
If you cannot attend part or the whole meeting, may I ask that you help us spread the word about it by forwarding this information and poster to potentially interested parties?
Our hope is that dogs take over SICB 2021, hopefully with your help!
Please do let me know if you have any questions.

This will be a terrific opportunity to learn the latest developments and challenges in the field of canine science, and forge collaborations with the leading minds in the field. See you there!

That's a great initiative; a well needed long awaited one. I am sure it would further help scientific community, K9 handlers & Trainers in particular to forge the R&D in this fast emerging field to exploit full potential of amazing K9s especially among Working K9s.
I wrote to you sometime ago to tell you that Dr. Caleb Bryce and I had been organizing a canine science symposium to be part of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) 2021 meeting in Washington DC. SICB has announced that the meeting will be held in a virtual format for 2021, so we are seeing this as a way to increase participation and attendance of our symposium!
Our symposium will still be held on January 7th, 2021 (times are still being worked out!) and we are hoping as many of you as possible will tune in for what will be an exciting lineup of presenters (more below). We will also have a complementary session to our symposium and are looking for abstracts to be submitted for that! Abstracts are due September 2nd, 2020 (http://burkclients.com/sicb/meetings/2021/site/index.html#), and registration can happen at the time of abstract submission or anytime before the meeting which starts January 3rd. Please, do let me know if you have any questions on this ([email protected])! And feel free to forward this onto anyone who may be interested in our symposium!
