Pombe2025-We are extending the deadline for abstract submission for Pombe2025 to end-of-day July 3rd. There will be no further extension after that so we can get the Abstract book printed and delivered before the meeting starts. Please do not wait until the last minute to do this.
Thanks to the sponsors of Pombe2025 including The Company of Biologists @biologists.bsky.social
Sponsorships made this an affordable meeting for those interested in fission yeast and budding yeast @yeastgenome.bsky.social @yeast-journal.bsky.social

Abstracts due June 27
The Pombe2025 abstract submission deadline is June 27. We need this to have enough time to send abstracts out for review by the session chairs and then to finish editing the Abstract Book in time for printing.

54 PIs signed up so far. Spread the word.
pombe2025 (part 3)- pombe2025 t-shirts will be $20 each. We will modify the registration website so you can pre-order a t-shirt or you can get one at the meeting. If you pre-order, we can guarantee we will have one in your size. If buying at BC, let Maeve know what size you plan to get.
Pombe2025 (part2)-The 2 Monday AM platform sessions displaced by the Keynote talks will replace poster sessions 2 and 4, since we expect fewer posters compared to requests for talks. Registration closes July 10th. Abstract submission closes June 27th. Posters can be 48" wide x 36" tall.
We modified the Pombe2025 schedule to make it easier for people to arrive on Sunday rather than Saturday. The 3 Sunday keynote talks will be given Monday AM, so people can arrive later on Sunday without missing talks. Therefore, Sunday will only be devoted to registration and an evening reception.

Here is a source of funding to support attending Pombe2025 this August.
Pombe2025 registration will go live this week. We hope you can join us August 3-8 in Boston. We will provide computers to allow international attendees to leave their phones and laptops at home.
You can find the program here:

If you know philanthropists or others who might want to help support this meeting, please point them to me.
Finally, if you require a visa to attend, start this process ASAP as we do not know how quickly this paperwork will be processed in this tumultuous year.
We are actively fundraising and have targets for the registration fees, but waiting to have a better sense of the fundraising before going live with a registration portal. The goal is to make this affordable for graduate students and postdocs so that we have a large and vibrant meeting.
