ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 15 May 2008
Please see our website <http://www.cnsweb.org/> for more information.
Situated in a tranquil riverside setting, along Nova Scotia's beautiful
Eastern Shore, the CNS meetings at Liscombe Lodge <www.liscombelodge.ca>
provide a stimulating Conference experience. The entire meeting ─ talks,
meals, and social events ─ are taken in a group setting. This provides
attendees with opportunities for in-depth discussions among students and
scientists from diverse backgrounds in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
In the immediate vicinity, there are numerous outdoor activities to
enjoy before and after the sessions.
Our Symposia are characterized by:
Longer conference presentations with open discussions and varied topics,
serving both established and young scientists
Distinctive, intimate conference locations where members can build
connections and relationships
As part of the Comparative Nutrition Society’s goal of encouraging young
scientists, the following awards are available:
Two Student Travel Awards ($1,000 each and meeting registration waived)
* The Susan Crissey Memorial Scholarship recognizes student research in
captive animals
* The Malcolm Ramsey Memorial Scholarship recognizes student research in
field animals
Three Student Presentation Awards ($500 each) for best oral and poster
presentations
Who are we?
* A cross-disciplinary Society with members interested in all aspects of
comparative animal nutrition including nutrition of wildlife, livestock
and humans; nutritional ecology; digestive physiology; biochemistry; and
conservation
* CNS members are from academia, commerce, government, and animal
husbandry (including zoos and aquaria)
We look forward to seeing you in August!
Best wishes,
