Abstract Submissions for Botany & Mycology 2009 are now
being accepted
Submission Deadline Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Policy on abstract submission and acceptance
In recent years there has been an increasing problem of people submitting
abstracts and not showing up at the meeting. This creates many problems
by creating gaps during the sessions and increasing costs. An analysis
of those not showing up for our meeting indicated that the majority
of them were not members of our participating societies. The program
organizers discussed many ways to alleviate this problem and this
year we will try a new policy and see how it affects the no-show
problem.
To have your abstract accepted you have two options:
1) be a current
member of one of our our participating societies (American
Bryological and Lichenological Society, American Fern Society,
American Society
of Plant Taxonomists, Botanical Society of America, Mycological
Society of America)
or 2) have a fully paid full meeting registration by
May 1. There will be no reimbursement for no-shows in the second
category. Abstracts submitted by non-members who have not paid the
registration fee by May 1st will be rejected.
