Biology 23 is the largest conference of organismic biology in Switzerland and aims to provide a platform for exchange between students, researchers and professors across scientific institutions, research groups and topic areas. The two-day conference will include four plenary talks by invited speakers, many oral presentations by early-career scientists and numerous poster sessions. On Thursday evening there is the traditional Darwin Dinner in honor of Darwin's birthday
