Meeting Goals and Design The primary goal is to provide a strong opportunity for people from various backgrounds, ages and places to build strong working relationships, leading to new insights and collaborations. Traditionally, the Evergreen meeting has followed the old Cold Spring Harbor format, with approximately 15-min talks for most people who want to talk, but with no limits on the length of discussions. The last four times, we have very effectively balanced these with a longer, introductory talk at the start of each half session by senior people. We are broadly soliciting suggestions for these speakers. Posters are strongly encouraged -- both as independent presentations with their own abstracts and as a way of letting participants more closely examine the detailed data of those giving talks. They remain up throughout the meeting, in the area where coffee breaks are held, in addition to having some time set aside specifically for posters. There is a morning session every day and either an afternoon or an evening session, giving opportunities both for tennis and walks to the beach and for an evening on the town. Topics to be covered All aspects of phage biology - such as genetics, regulatory mechanisms, the functioning of the enzyme complexes involved in DNA synthesis, transcription and repair and in shutting off host function, phage-host interactions in lytic and lysogenic cycles, morphogenesis and cell lysis, phage ecology and evolution, the interactions between different phages and effects of prophages on infections by heterologous phages, structures of phage proteins and their structure-function relationships, functional and comparative genomics, and therapeutic and ecological applications of phages. Special features The meeting always starts with an afternoon picnic at the Evergreen beach. The first session then begins at 6:30 with a pair of keynote talks. The formal 'banquet' is a Native American salmon bake and the meeting ends on Friday with a trip to Mt. Rainier and possibly to Mt St. Helens, for those who wish to take part. We may also arrange somewhat longer trips in the Olympic Peninsula or Cascades if you like after the meeting -- as we sometimes do. Let us know of any particular desires. |
