Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution

This year’s topics focus on the Unicellular Diversification of Cell Types and Division Systems, spanning: (i) Origin and evolution of cell types in unicellular eukaryotes (ii) Diversity and evolution of cellular division mechanisms (iii) Evolution of cell form and function

The 4th Annual Symposium on Mechanisms of Cellular Evolution, sponsored by the NSF BII Program, will be held @ASU, bringing together researchers to discuss evolutionary cell biology and to provide opportunities for interdisciplinary discussions and collaboration

🦠 BII CME Annual Symposium 2025 - Mechanisms of Cellular Evolution 🔗 na.eventscloud.com/cmesymposium20… 🗓️ Nov. 5-8 2025 📍 Arizona State University 📄 Abstract submission deadline (posters and short-talks): October 1, 2025 (11:59pm Arizona time) #evolution #cell #biology

All early-career researchers affiliated with the SMBE are welcome to apply to the SMBE Fellows Program before August 31. Please find more details on the program and the application procedure on our website: 🔗 smbe.org/smbe-fellows-p…

Please note that the deadline to submit proposals for SMBE Satellite, Interdisciplinary and Regional Meetings for 2026 is August 15 - check our website for more information: 📝 smbe.org/guidelines

This is a unique opportunity for young researchers to contribute to the visibility of science in our field, network, and build skills for a future career in research, publishing, or science communication.

SMBE Fellows will gain experience in translating scientific research for an informed audience by writing Highlight articles for MBE and GBE. Fellows will receive editorial guidance and networking opportunities within the SMBE community.

We are excited to announce the SMBE Fellows Program! ✍️ Designed to provide networking and mentorship opportunities to early-career researchers through scientific writing in evolutionary biology for @MolBioEvol and @GenomeBiolEvol 🔗 smbe.org/smbe-fellows-p…

Thank you for being with us for #SMBE2025, either onsite or from afar... ... and see you in Copenhagen for #SMBE2026! 😁

谢谢北京！ What more is there to say? A last morning round-up by a great talk by Qiaomei Fu on the evolution of East Asian human population, and a beautiful closing ceremony with credit where credit is due - established and upcoming researchers, volunteers, organizers.

Between the @SMBE_IDEA symposium, Peter Holland's amazing talk on the power of genome sequencing, the third poster session, the dedicated MBE/GBE Editor's symposium - and the Gala Dinner - #SMBE2025 has been going so quickly. One day left, but there's still plenty to come! 👍

🏃 #SMBE2025 moves on at full speed through its third day, with a plenary speech on the evolution of germline mutation rates by Molly Przeworski, plenty more talks, posters, and the SMBE business meeting.

The second day of #SMBE2025 had many standout moments: from multiple parallel symposia, to the Graduate Student Excellence Award symposium, the first poster session, and ending with our second plenary talk by Eugene V. Koonin. Rest well, there's more coming tomorrow! 😉

The first day of #SMBE2025 concludes with a very warm welcome by the organization, inspiring opening speeches, and a fantastic talk about gene flow from Ziheng Yang (@zihengyang). 👋 See you tomorrow for the first full day of #SMBE2025!

📅 The day is today! #SMBE2025 in Beijing starts now, as the registration desk opens to all participants Join us for five days full of the latest discoveries in molecular biology and evolution 🧬 We hope all attendees enjoy the many opportunities for discussion and networking
