Experimental Biology 2014 Symposium Form

Deadline: By April5, 2013, email to Eric Lazartigues () for consideration for the EB 2013 meeting.

Organizers should consider multidisciplinary approaches (participation of other Sections) and the contribution by experimentation at multiple levels of investigation. What specific question does this symposium address? Are there two or more conflicting issues that warrant presentation and discussion? What does the session offer to the intended audience?
