Who is the SINNERS meeting for?

 

The Northeast US is fortunate to have a concentration of world class labs working on social insects. The SINNERS meetings primarily serve as informal, bi-annual gatherings to bring these labs together to share their research and foster collaboration.

 

Previous meetings were hosted by the Swarm Lab at NJIT, the Kronauer Lab at Rockefeller University, the Laboratory of Shelley Berger at the University of Pennsylvania, the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior and the Department of Entomology at Cornell University, and the Traniello Lab and Department of Biology at Boston University. The upcoming sixth meeting will be hosted by the Seid Lab at the University of Scranton.

SINNERS 6 will be held the morning of Saturday, December 12th to the morning of Sunday, December 13th.
