Second International Meeting on Physiology and Pharmacology
of Temperature Regulation
Phoenix, Arizona, USA, March 3-6, 2006
This Phoenix meeting took the baton from the series of meetings: Pharmacology of Thermoregulation Symposia | Symposia on Thermal Physiology | First Integrated Symposium on Physiology and Pharmacology of Temperature Regulation
The meeting was organized by the FeverLab with the guidence of the Thermal Section of the Commission on Comparative Physiology: Evolution, Adaptation, and Environment of the International Union of Physiological Sciences. The meeting had a distinguished program committee.
The meeting gathered 182 scientific participants from North America, Asia, Europe, Australia, South America, and Africa. Here is a report on the meeting by two attendees, Linda G. Fick and Lois M. Harden, published in the Physiology Society of Southern Africa News 3 (2): 4, 2006.
Ruediger Gerstberger took pictures during the meeting. Michael J. Dascombe stayed at the Carefree Resort after the meeting — only to encounter the first snow in the desert in about 14 years. Shaun F. Morrison took a backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon after the meeting and took pictures.
The Phoenix meeting gave the baton to the Third International Symposium on Physiology and Pharmacology of Temperature Regulation, which was organized by Osamu Shido and Tatsuo Watanabe and took place on July 23-26, 2009, in Matsue, Japan. The Fourth International Meeting on Physiology and Pharmacology of Thermoregulation was organized by Glória Souza and Camila Almeida and took place in Búzios, Brazil, on March 22-25, 2012.
The next, fifth, meeting on Physiology and Pharmacology of Temperature Regulation is organized by Andrea Fuller. It will take place in the Kruger National Park (Skukuza, South Africa) on September 7-12, 2014. The meeting is entitled "Thermal Physiology in a Changing Thermal World".
