We are glad to invite you to the 2013 SIDEER symposium!
The symposium this year is titled:
"The Emergence of Design in Nature - How Structure and Complex Patterns Appear in Life"
and will be held on the 18-20th of March at the Sede-Boqer campus in Midreshet Ben-Gurion.

Our special Keynote speaker is Prof. J.Scott Turner from the department of Environmental and forest biology of the state university of New York, and he has published two books on the subject, "The Extended Organism - The Physiology of Animal-Built Structures" and "The Tinkerer's Accomplice - How Design Emerges from Life Itself." (You can visit his webpage at http://www.esf.edu/efb/turner/index.html and have a look at his varied video lectures).
Additionally we have this year with us many great speakers from a variety of disciplines, and a special video conference talk with Dr. Stephen Wolfram from Wolfram Research.

The symposium is open to the public.
