Please join us 14 to 18 June 2021 for the 100th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists. For the first time ever, the annual conference will be held virtually, providing the opportunity for mammalogists worldwide to join in the celebration. Learn about the latest advances in the study of mammals and interact with researchers and educators specializing in these fascinating animals. Come celebrate this important milestone in modern mammalogy!
The scientific program will include contributed oral and poster presentations, as well as plenary speakers, symposia, and workshops. The plenary sessions will feature student Honoraria and Fellowship recipients and the 2019 and 2020 recipients of the ASM Grinnell, Leopold, and Merriam Awards. Symposia will include current topics in advances in teaching, pathobiology and collections, global mammal distribution and threats, trait-based ecology, and more. Workshops will provide training in CT data, camera trap data, undergraduate education, and 1-on-1 mentoring. A capstone speaker will close out the program.
A full social agenda also is being planned including an opening social, student social, and closing social and awards ceremony. Virtual field trips and a run-for-research are also in the works.
