Saul Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hi James! Welcome to the CR Society! Do a Google Search on "Calorie Resriction Society", and the URL for the CR Society's website will come up. Go to that website -- all the info for becoming a member of the Society, and how to join the two mailing lists (free), is posted there. You can be sure that when we know where and when the next CR Society meeting will be held, it will be published to both mailing lists, and also show up in the Forums. :) -- Saul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stern Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi James, The next conference will be Wednesday June 5 through Saturday June 8 2013 at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato California. We plan to have a welcome reception on Wednesday afternoon/evening at the conference hotel as attendees arrive. The agenda is still a work in progress, but.... The main program at the Buck Institute will be 8:45am - 5:00pm on Thursday and Friday, and 8:45am to about 1:00pm on Saturday. There will be an optional banquet lunch on Thursday and Friday and an optional dinner near the hotel on Thursday evening. We will schedule a tour of the Buck Institute Thursday morning for everyone interested and a special tour of one (possibly more ) research lab for the first about 40 who sign up. Saturday afternoon there will be some optional activities. We hope to have more details and the registration page available very soon.
