82nd Annual Meeting of ASB 2021
Association of Southeastern Biologists

Online Meeting
March 24-27, 2021

Rather than meeting in Chattanooga as planned, they will be holding an entirely online meeting from March 24-27, 2021. This online format will provide a safe venue for their community to share research and ideas and will offer most of the same meeting features as in previous years. Research will be presented through eposter and video oral presentations. As in the past, they will continue to offer judged presentation awards, sessions for affiliate meetings, workshops, a members’ meeting, and a meeting T-shirt. The new meeting format will also give them the opportunity to incorporate some new, soon-to-be-announced opportunities that they have never been able to offer before.

Stay up to date on their website.
