<br>Hi everyone,<br><br>Tom Siek, a graduate student at the University of Waterloo has asked me to forward this message to all of you:<br><br><br>Are any of you guys interested in going to the Paleopathology
Association and American Association of Physical Anthropologist annual
meetings? They're both in Calgary this April. The PPA runs from April
8-9 and the AAPA is from the 10-12. They're being held at the same
venue. (Also I'll be presenting at the PPA!)
I've booked a room in Calgary for that week. I went for the pricey
option because it's right where the conferences will be held. Also
downtown Calgary is pretty pricey in itself and I figured that even if
we did get a cheaper room a bit out of the way, the price of taxis would
be huge. BUT if we cram enough people into the room I booked, we can
split the price and make it cheaper. For now, I've got it booked from
the 6-13. I'm thinking of changing it to the 7 to 12. Right now, it's
219 a night (that's with the discount arranged by the conference
organizers). If I can get at least three other people to split the cost
with me, it'll be 54 per night.
Conferences are pretty fun, you get to meet other students who are
interested in similar/cool topics and you get to meet famous academics
or even ones that you might want to study with in the future. Plus these
meetings wont be held in Canada again for a few years, the next three
are going to be in the US, so this is a good chance. Also you get to see
Calgary if you've never been.
Please let me know if you're interested, also spread the word to anyone
who might want to go as well.<br><br></span></span></div><span><span class="">If anyone is interested in attending and/or they have any questions, please email Tom at <a href="mailto:tsiek@uwaterloo.ca">tsiek@uwaterloo.ca</a><br>
