Dear Colleagues, Happy New Year! We are excited to host the 2025 MAYosis webinar series, which will be held on four consecutive Wednesdays from May 7 through May 28, 2025. The MAYosis is a virtual seminar series dedicated to all aspects of meiosis (including evolutionary ones). It aims to expand and strengthen our community and provide a forum to spotlight junior researchers. Each of the four sessions (2-hour presentation sessions plus 1-hour discussion) will feature six speakers: one invited keynote and five talks selected from submitted abstracts. Only trainees or junior faculty (within 12 years from the completion of the PhD) will be considered for a talk. Invited talks will be 15 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions, and selected talks will be 12 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. A one-hour general open-mic discussion will be held at the end of each session. Talks will begin promptly at 4 pm CET (7 am PST; 12 am JST). The MAYosis 2025 website is open. http://meiosis.cornell.edu/mayosis2025/ Please advertise this series as widely as possible amongst your friends and colleagues. All attendees must register (registration is free). https://ucdavis.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEsde2vrT8oG9ACZvNGTb-0VyGBpbXDVPCS#/registration Abstract submission is open on the web site, and the abstract deadline is March 8, 2025. http://meiosis.cornell.edu/mayosis2025/abstracts.html The full program will be available from late March 2025.
