After the cancellation of our 2020 Spring & Summer conferences due to COVID-19, and mindful of our responsibilities to reduce our carbon footprint, we are trialling this new virtual format! This conference is free, and open to both ASAB members and non-members!
 

The ASAB virtual conference 2020 is now online! Find it at www.ASABvirtual.org
and follow the conference Twitter account at @ASABvirtual2020
 

Registration and abstract submission opens: 3rd June

Abstract deadline: 16th June

Registration closed: 3rd July

Conference: 16th July

Appropriately, the theme for the conference is:

How do pathogens affect behaviour?

We will be interpreting this very broadly: from ticks altering grooming networks, through brood parasitism, mind-control in infected animals, or human responses to threats of infection. If you work on any issues even remotely connected with this topic, we’d welcome your contributions. As with all ASAB meetings, researchers of any aspect of animal behaviour are very welcome and we anticipate that there will be much for you in terms of the social, mentoring and networking opportunities, even if pathogens are not central to your work.

We are very excited to announce that our three plenary speakers will be Dr Cécile Sarabian, Prof. Iain Barber, and Prof. Vanessa Ezenwa.

Do join us for the day & please spread the word!
