Annual lectures

[matthew spooner]

who's going to the lectures in feb? i love this weekend, its a nice break and very educational, one of the highlights of my year, there are currently 12 of us coming from invicta arachnid club, but that could possible become a higher number due to people still making their minds up.

[James Box]

i'm going! i can't wait!

[ralfkonen]

I'll be there

[Grant Brown]

I'd like to go, but may have to opt out since I want to go to the BAS AGM and there's a spider ID course at Kindrogen I'm quite interested in.

Does anyone happen to know the lecture titles incidentally?

[Mike Mosdell]

I'm just requesting more information but do intend to come [will be my first lecture!]

Most of the titles and lecturers have been posted. I have been waiting for Richard gallons title as he has been away. Should have this soon.

Andrew smiths is on his recent expedtion to Africa and that title is coming too. It will feature in situ pictures of heteroscodra and stromatopelma. And a few more sp

Martins and Sorens lectures have titles. Chris Hamilton. Is doing somthing on DNA.

Will have all this confirmed in the next few days.

Cheers

[Chris Hamilton]

Hey everyone,

I'll be presenting on the United States Aphonopelma...looking at evolutionary relationships, historical dispersal into North America, potential causes of speciation, how we use DNA, morphology, and ecological data to determine species boundaries, and the future work that will be revising the genus (with Dr. Jason Bond - my advisor at East Carolina University - and Dr. Brent Hendrixson).

We will be there Mark as always . We wouldnt miss it for the World. If only for the social side of it.
Having attended every one I can honestly say I have never heard a bad lecture even the years when I have lectured .

If you are in two minds about booking. Dont be. Its worth it.
