Urban Evolution at SICB 2023

The annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) is here! From January 3-7 biologists will convene in Austin, Texas to share the latest and greatest from a broad range of research areas. Urban evolution talks have a strong showing at the meeting this year, and we would like to hear about all of the urban talks and posters if possible so that those of us not attending the meeting can follow along.

But we can’t do it without your help. We’re looking for new contributors who will be attending the meeting to be our eyes and ears and report back. If you are attending the meeting and are interested in becoming a contributor to the blog, please email Kristin and she will provide you with the details you need. Here’s our list of what look like great talks on urban organisms. Let us know if we missed any!
