TRAVEL INFORMATION: Human Biology Association is a global research community of scientists, the strengths of which, in large part, draw upon the intellectual and social synergy that emerges from wide-ranging perspectives and representation of all humans. Serving human welfare is at the heart of our mission, without exception. That mission relies on independent gathering and reporting of evidence, analysis and free debate of data and ideas, representation of all aspects of humanity, and global multidisciplinary collaboration and outreach. We welcome participation from all who share these goals and commitments, at meetings, in journals and other scientific fora.
We are looking forward to this invaluable exchange of ideas and data at the upcoming conference this April 19-20. Unfortunately, we are unable to predict what complications may arise during travel. Members should use their own discretion in choosing whether or not to travel. However, we will be happy to supply letters on the HBA’s letterhead confirming presentation at HBA meetings, as this may aid in getting through visa/immigration barriers.
