The International Cassiopea Workshop brings together researchers from around the world to share research and ideas related to the Cassiopea system.
The multidisciplinary meeting gathers scientists from diverse research backgrounds, with previous attendees having a wide array of expertise in symbiosis, behavior, fluid dynamics, ecology, genetics, etc. We encourage anyone to attend, even if they are new to the Cassiopea system, or are interested in utilizing Cassiopea for research.
This year, the workshop will be held at the University of Florida Whitney Laboratory for Marine Science. The state-of-the-art facilities at Whitney Labs will allow us to provide more in-depth tutorials. We are planning several full day and half day tutorials from June 6/3 – 6/5 that will span topics such as molecular techniques, physiology, and bioinformatics.
More information on tutorials, keynote speakers, and travel awards will be available here in the following weeks.
