SUMMARY:Boston University Theory of Living Systems Meeting 2019
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by: Alexander Golden\n\nWe are planning the second annua
	l Theory of Living Systems here at Boston University\, to take place on Thu
	rsday\, May 30 through Friday\, May 31\, 2019\, made possible by the genero
	us support of the Simons Foundation through their MMLS Program.\n\nOur goal
	 is to bring together theorists to discuss conceptual challenges in biology
	. We envision this conference as a unique opportunity to expose the abstrac
	t and mathematical side of research that transcends specific systems. The t
	heme of this second meeting is dynamics and organization in space. This the
	me includes many diverse biological phenomena\, but often using familiar to
	ols. By bringing many different perspectives together\, we hope that the co
	nference will catalyze major theoretical advances.\n\nThe conference will c
	onsist of two full days of talks\, starting Thursday morning (May 30) and e
	nding Friday evening at 6pm (May 31)\, held in the Metcalf Science Center o
	n the campus of Boston University. Thursday lunch will include a poster ses
	sion\, to which all attendees are welcome to contribute. We will be selecti
	ng certain poster abstracts to give talks. The registration fee covers lunc
	h and coffee breaks for both days. Early registration at a reduced rate is 
	available until April 24\, 2019\, which is the soft deadline for abstract s
	ubmissions.\n\nEvent registration/website: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bu-
