Retroblogging 1993 SSE/SSN/SSB Meeting in Snowbird, Utah #evolution #ecology #systematics

So I am continuing on with Retroblogging past seminars and meetings and other events.  Today I am posting about the 1993 Joint meeting of SSE/SSB/ASN (Society for the Study of Evolution, Society of Systematic Biologists, American Society of Naturalists)



I drove to this meeting from Stanford with David Pollock and we went camping along the way at a relatively new National Park - Great Basin.  I brought my bike and overall had a nice time.





And then we arrived in Snowbird and, amazingly, at the reception I discovered that a friend of mine from high school Jeff Wager was working at the Snowbird resort.  Anyway - enough about me - here are my notes from the meeting.












































UPDATE - And here is are scans of the program

  1. Total kick remembering that Jonathan! Is that my bike on the car behind yours? I'm pretty sure I let you do Wheeler on your own, but I can't remember if I brought a bike too. If so it is the rebuilt green one that I still have! I was even more impressed though that you still have your notes from the meeting. Even if I still have mine I am not sure it is worth the archaeological expedition to find them.

  2. One of the most important considerations you'll need to give to your business meeting is where you're going to hold it. Whether you are going to use meeting space San Francisco or your own office or exploring potential alternatives, be sure that it fits the occasion.
