• 12^th International Palynology Congress - Bonn 2008 (back-to-back meeting with IOP 2008)



• Integrating evolution and development of pollen and spores: new perspectives. This one day meeting is hosted by the Palynologist Specialist Gorup of the Linnean Society of London (Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, W1J 0BF) on 28 October 2007. The programme will continue to explore links between evolution and development in pollen and spores. Talks are welcome from scientists working in interfacing fields of pollen and spore morphology, development including genetic control, and evolution including the fossil record. Postgraduates and postdocs are especially welcome to present their work. We hope to further stimulate and enhance discussion between pollen morphologists, palaeobotanists and developmental geneticists towards common research goals. Registration is free. For further information contact the Carol Furness.
