I am getting very excited about the upcoming Experimental Biology conference especially since this year marks the 125th anniversary of The American Physiological Society for which there are many planned celebrations. Not to mention, the programming for comparative physiology at this year's meeting is really exciting:

To help celebrate the anniversary, try your chance at winning a FREE Dr. Dolittle "What's New in Comparative Physiology" t-shirt (image below)! To enter please write to Dr. Dolittle (drdlttl01@gmail.com) and explain why you are attending the meeting, what excites you about comparative physiology, and what you most look forward to at the meeting. Be sure to include proof of registration. A new winner will be chosen every week prior to EB and we will send you the t-shirt in time for you to wear it in San Diego.
