*We have the last version of the Program: this includes the talks & socials, poster sessions, the presenters' index, and the Updates/Corrections tab (which are the differences from what'll be in your printed brochure from your goodie bag). And here's the official conference abstract book. The password to open the PDF document is: isbe2014
BANQUET INFORMATION TONIGHT, TUESDAY August 5th, 6.30-10.30PM: Our banquet (pink "Admit One" ticket holders only) will take place at Shepard Hall of the City College of New York (CCNY) campus: it's a tall, cathedral-like neogothic building. The address is: corner of 139th Street West and Convent Avenue. There is a map in your brochure. Please take the no. 1 (red) Metro train to "137th Street City College" station, walk east on 138th Street to Convent Avenue, and Shepard Hall will be on your left. We will have staff, signs, and balloon to guide you from the Metro to the Banquet. If you're not staying at the CCNY dorms, we will have buses to take you downtown at 10.15PM from the CCNY campus to Washington Square Park (where the NYU poster session was held).
THERE WILL BE BOTTLES OF WINE ON YOUR DINNER TABLE INCLUDED. FOR EXTRA DRINKS, WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS at the banquet. If you have cash, you can pre-purchase your drink tickets for $6 at the Reception Desk throughout the day today, Tuesday. Thank you.
SATELLITE SYMPOSIA, Wednesday, August 6, 2014 (open to all ISBE 2014 registrants, click the titles for more details):

Kelley, and Walter Hödl. Organizers - Joshua Schwartz, Mark Bee, and Mike Ryan. Lecture Hall: Hunter North ASSEMBLY HALL (note, this is a new and rather chilly/air-conditioned location!).
Cooperation within and between species: what are the similarities and differences? Organizers - Jessica Barker, Judith Bronstein.Lecture Hall: Hunter West 511.
If you are attending purely for the post-conference, Wednesday symposia on August 6, but not for any part of the ISBE2014 conference, please note that 1. there is no charge/fee, and 2. you will not be issued ISBE2014 registration IDs. To gain access to the Hunter Campus, you will need to check in at Security at Hunter (68th Street and Lexington Avenue, SW corner) with a picture ID, say that you're here for the ISBE conference symposium, and then head directly to the lecture hall assigned. Here is a map of the Hunter College 68th Street Campus (take the no. 6 Metro to "68th Street/Hunter College" station).
Wondering where everything is? Check on the map for the localities here: http://tinyurl.com/lnhubvd or a PDF copy. And here is a chart about how to get from/to places using public transportation and your metro/bus card.
Would you like to be a session chair? We are looking for kind but punctual volunteers! Here's what to choose from (yellow highlights), please email us if you'd be interested.
The Program and the Index (but not the 300+ page abstract book) will be included in the printed hard copy of your conference brochure (pick it up with your goodie bag and name tag at the Zoo or at Hunter College). If you lose your brochure, you can re-print it from the website at Fedex Office (between 69th and 70th Street on 3rd Avenue) at your own cost.
Please remember, the talks are 12 min + 3 min: 15 min total. There will be an ISBE-traditional 5 min movement/break between each talk (hence the 20 min. slots for the talks on the program). Please make the talk file compatible with PC/Windows 7.0 machine with MS Powerpoint 2010; please also bring a back-up copy as a PDF file.
You will be able to pre-check your talk on any of the Hunter networked PC computers throughout campus. You will need our dedicated NET-ID for WIFI and for Hunter desktops: isbe1 (all lower case) and PASSWORD (i.e., Hauber1$ but replace Hauber with the name of the the author of The Handicap Principle) to log into Hunter's network during the conference. We will provide a USB drive in your goodie bag!
This is the USA--so please carry an official photo ID (US driver's license or passport) to gain access to any venue, including conference events, which might serve alcohol, no matter your age!
Where will you pick up your name tag and registration packet? Hunter College North Building (daily from 8AM onwards on Friday, Saturday, Monday or Tuesday). Unfortunately, there is no more on-site registration or day-pass available because we are full, and so we also don't have space for non-registered/non-ticketed accompanying persons, friends/family at the Museum and Banquet events.
For accessing Hunter College, please use the Hunter North Entrance, 69th Street East, between Lexington and Park Avenues.
If you're an ISBE student/travel award recipient, you will receive your check AFTER you receive your name tag, at Hunter North. Ask for John or Celine, please (they'll have your check)! Please bring an official photo identification (driver's license or passport) to prove us that you are the recipient and you will need to sign for the check. If you don't have a US-bank account, we have asked for you to be able to cash your check at CHASE BANK, next to Hunter College, on the South-East corner of East 69th Street and Lexington Avenue (please tell them that you're with the ISBE Conference). You will need two forms of ID (passport/drivers license AND student card, credit card, etc) to identify yourself to cash these checks.
