This page will be the main source for all web information about the 1998 meeting of the Behavior Genetics Association in Stockholm, 8-10 June 1998. As more information becomes available I will add links from this page.

Here are the minutes of the 1998 business meeting.

Information about Sweden and Stockholm

I did some web searching and collected what I thought were the most useful sites on the web for people who will be visiting Stockholm and Sweden in the coming year. Let me know if you have any suggestions of other things to add.

Important Information from the Local Host Nancy Pedersen

Nancy Pedersen will be Local Host for the Stockholm meeting. She has prepared a document with information about the conference, and about travel and hotel accomodations. It is available below in three different commonly used formats. Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format is nice for printing, but it requires that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader which is freely available. The three documents contain identical information.

Updates:
14 Nov 1997-- the section about the Crystal Plaza Hotell was altered to reflect the fact that it is not as close to Central Station as was previously believed.
14 Nov 1997-- a nice detailed map of Stockholm (courtesy of Nancy Pedersen) was added to the page. It is large (225 KB).
