What previous speakers say about the Michael Sars Symposium
“I was delighted to have participated in this conference. The organisers should be congratulated for putting together such a fascinating and diverse programme which no doubt reflects the unique nature of the scientific research being conducted in Bergen. I also very much appreciated the memorable guided tour of the facility where each group took the time to introduce their model species to us. ”
- Dr. Kirsty Wan, University of Exeter, UK
“Amongst great science - I was just blown away by the focus on building great science facilities and scientists focused on animal care supporting marine science! In an era of embracing biodiversity – Michael Sars Centre, you are all leading the charge. Thanks for an inspirational trip.”
- Dr. Manu Prakash, Stanford University, USA
“It was really the diversity of biological approaches & models that made this meeting an absolute treat. It was just the perfect balance of talks being sufficiently diverse to avoid the boredom that sometimes arises at sectoral meetings, while at the same time leaving sufficient common ground so that basically all presentations were understandable & interesting for the entire audience.”
- Dr. Maximilian Fürthauer, Institut de Biologie Valrose, France
