Conferences, Workshops, and More

NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) 3rd Science Symposium: What's Now, What's Next
March 14-15, 2012
7600 Sand Point Way, Bldg. 9 Auditorium
Seattle, Washington

The goals of the NWFSC's 3rd Science Symposium are to foster communication and collaboration among our scientists as well as to showcase new and exciting areas of our fisheries science in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The 2-day symposium will consist of oral presentations and posters contributed by NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center scientists. Presentations will highlight research areas related to the four key themes that encompass our research:

• Ecosystem management for the California Current Large Marine
• Habitats to support sustainable fisheries and recovered populations
• Recovery, rebuilding and sustainability of marine and anadromous species
• Sustaining marine ecosystem and human health

Registration, an agenda, and other event information will be forthcoming, so stay tuned!

Engage: Science Speaker Series and Seminar
http://engage-science.com/speaker-series/2012-speaker-series/

Engage was formed to help UW graduate students to improve communicating about their research to lay audiences. The Engage series is presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, in collaboration with the University of Washington, Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Two SAFS graduates students will be presenting talks at the winter 2012 series:

• Jan 25—Jessica Rohde: Should I Stay Or Should I Go? Diverse Migration Patterns Of Puget Sound Coho Salmon
• Apr 19—Jennifer Griffiths: Fish Out Of Water? Salmon And Rapid Environmental Change

For more information, including talk abstracts, please see the webpage list above.
