FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN BIOLOGY STUDIES
Indiana University, July 26-30, 2006

We invite you to join us for the 2006 Future Directions in Biology 
Studies (F-DIBS) graduate training workshop, July 26-30 at Indiana 
University in Bloomington.

F-DIBS is a four-day intensive training workshop for graduate 
students, advanced undergraduates, post-docs, and young faculty 
interested in the history, philosophy, and social studies of biology. 
Senior faculty are also invited to come.

The workshop will focus on the problems and prospects of 
cross-disciplinary collaboration. Eleven scholars of distinction will 
be addressing the following questions in their plenary talks: What is 
the future of biology studies? What are the benefits and challenges 
of interdisciplinary collaboration? Other faculty attendees will also 
participate in hands-on roundtable discussions addressing training 
issues, such as how to write a paper for submission to a journal, 
strategies for navigating the job market, and how to obtain funding 
for research in biology studies. Small group break-out sessions will 
provide students the opportunity to discuss focused research topics 
and case studies from multi-disciplinary perspectives. Each evening, 
"Happy Office Hours" will provide younger scholars the opportunity to 
meet each other and more senior scholars in area pubs and coffee 
shops.

The 2006 F-DIBS plenary speakers are:

* Garland Allen (History; Washington University, St. Louis)
* Joe Cain (History; University College London)
* Lindley Darden (Philosophy; Maryland)
* Tom Gieryn (Sociology; Indiana)
