Resumen de la temática (max. 500 palabras):
The symposium is directed to post-docs, graduate students, and emerging scientists. The
goal is to describe the long term research program of various well established biologists
that work in quiet different fields but use crustaceans as model systems. All of the scientists
are characterized by the integrative approach they developed to advance their own research
program. What were their initial ideas and questions? Where did their came from? What
new tools did they start using when attempting to answer new hypothesis emerging from
their long term research program? The speakers will explain about the constraints they
experience and the solutions they came with in order while advancing the knowledge of
their respective fields of research. As time passes, biology, including the many fields of
crustacean biology, is becoming more and more integrative. Post-docs, graduate students,
and emerging scientists will have the opportunity to grasp not only the knowledge but the
“know-how” from different well established colleagues working in different areas of
carcinology. This symposium stresses the point that integration of different areas, ideas,
and tools, and theoretical frameworks is most relevant to have a successful research
program and long term carrier in crustacean biology.
