Dear fellow evolutionary biologists

We are pleased to announce the sixth edition of the Mexican Population
Genetics Meeting #MexPopGen6, which will be held as a hybrid event
on October 12-13 at the Center of Genomic Sciences, UNAM located in
Cuernavaca, Mexico. This year, thanks to the financial support of SMBE,
MexPopGen6 has funding to provide travel awards that will cover travel and
lodging expenses for a set of selected participants in the early stages of
their scientific career. These travel awards will be available to promote
and guarantee the participation of students and researchers from other
states of the Mexican Republic, as well as from Central and South America.

Participation is free of charge after successful
registration. Registration will be open starting Friday, May 26th until
June 26th 2023. For more details, to submit your abstract and/or apply for
travel awards, visit the MexPopGen6 website: https://www.mexpopgen.com.mx

We look forward to meeting you all in person in Cuernavaca, Mexico,
or online through our streaming platforms.

Please save the date and spread the word!
