2018 Society of Systematic Biologists standalone meeting

The Society of Systematic Biologists invites you to attend our meeting on June 1-4, 2018, in Columbus, Ohio. Join us for a series of workshops, discussions, and presentations encompassing the latest research in systematic biology. We are accepting submissions for lightning talks and poster presentations on our site, and have a series of workshops planned on topics ranging from species trees to communicating your science with photography. Meeting registration is now open. Members who have suggestions for workshop or discussion topics are welcome to contact the meeting organizers. We hope to see everyone in Columbus this June! Students and postdocs who wish to enroll in one of two pre-meeting workshops should contact Bryan Carstens for more information prior to registration. Workshop topics include Posterior Predictive Simulation (hosted by Noah Reid, Anthony Barley, and Bryan Carstens) and Predictive Phylogeography (hosted by Anahi Espindola, Tara Pelletier, Jack Sullivan, and Dave Tank). SSB members who are interested in hosting a software workshop can also contact Bryan Carstens with proposed ideas. In addition to lightning talks and posters, we will hold several discussion forums about topics of interest. 
  • Model-based inference vs. data mining/machine learning techniques (Laura Kubatko, Cécile Ané, Joe Rusinko) 
  • Panel discussion on publishing your work in Systematic Biology (former Editors in Chief including Andy Anderson and Jack Sullivan)
  • Additional topics include facilitating undergraduate research, funding systematic biology, and the future of taxonomy.
