Dear , Are you aware of the fact that the ISHAM International Agenda see here is the world’s largest overview of events in medical mycology? Today the list of congresses, workshops and courses contains 45 items.

The ISHAM Working Group on black yeasts organizes its third meeting in Curitiba, Brazil, 1-4 December, 2011. There will be strong accent on medical melanized fungi, such as the agents of chromoblastomycosis. The website http://www.blackyeast.org/ is now open for registration.

The School of Medical Sciences at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, U.K. has several job opportunities, see here; the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, searches an ecologist, see here.
