  • Growth & Form

    22th of October, 1993


    Annual Meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology,
    Swansea, UK, 11-15th April 1994
    Session on 'Biomechanics of Growth and Form',
    14th of April 1994



    Dear Colleague,

    I would like to draw your attention to the above session on
    biomechanical aspects of 'Growth and Form', which I am
    organising for the Biomechanics Group of the Society
    for Experimental Biology. In recent years, exciting advances
    have been made in this area, and I am keen to receive
    contributions from a variety of back grounds and levels of
    structural organisation. Below you will find a preliminary
    programme for the meeting.

    If you would like to submit a paper or poster, please let me
    know by the end of this month and supply the following
    details:
    -Title of paper or poster
    -Author's and co-authors' initials, names and affiliation.
    -Full name and address of the person to whom all
    correspondence should be addressed.

    An abstract is required before the 14th of February 1994.

    Other meetings which may be of interest to you are:
    General Biomechanics, 13th of April, organised by Dr Iain
    Young, Dept of Pure and Applied Biology, University of
    Leeds, LS2 9JT, England, tel. 0532-431751, Fax. 0532-
    332882.
    Molecular Physiology of Growth, 12th and 13th of April,
    organised by Dr. P. Loughna, Royal Vet. College, Royal
    College St, London, NW1 0TU, England, tel. 071-3872898,
    Fax. 071- 3882342.

    Please, bring the conference to the attention to any
    colleagues who might be interested.

    Yours sincerely,
