Beste leden van de NVTB,
De jaarlijkse bijeenkomst van de Nederlandse Vereniging van
Theoretische Biologie vindt dit jaar plaats op donderdag en vrijdag 24
en 25 mei in Schoorl. De registratie is al open
http://www.bio.vu.nl/nvtb/meeting2012/. Speciaal aan de bijeenkomst
van dit jaar 2012 is dat we twee sprekers hebben uitgenodigd voor een
voordracht. Professor dr. Martin Scheffer (WUR) zal spreken over
"Resilience Revisited" en Prof. Dr. Bela Mulder (AMOLF) over "Survival
of the aligned: modelling self-organisation in the plant cortical
microtubule array".
We hopen jullie in grote aantallen te ontvangen!
Met vriendelijke groeten van
Charlotte Hemelrijk (Voorzitster van de NVTB).
