In 2013, I was sitting in a pub in Jersey City with Simon Garnier and Iain Couzin, remarking on the high concentration of quality social insect researchers in North-Eastern USA. So we decided to initiate our own conference to bring these people together to discuss their research. Now fully self-organised and growing, the bi-annual SINNERS conferences continue to be an invaluable and informal get-together for all researchers from students to professors in the field of social insects. Check out the facebook page or Twitter account (@bioSINNERS) for the most recent information on upcoming meetings.
