We store your e-mail and address information in a database that is accessible to a few board members only. We use it for administrating our members, for disseminating GfBS-relevant information among our members via emailing list, as well as for inviting to our member assembly or for checking the status of your membership when you register for a meeting or apply for a prize. Furthermore, we provide information on conference announcements, the current issue of our journal Organisms, Diversity & Evolution (ODE), scientific job advertisements or, for example, information on the Nagoya Protocol.
