[Nhcoll-l] announcement invertebrate zoology session at Northeast Natural History Conference

[Jay R Cordeiro]

Dear Friends and Colleagues

I will be chairing a special session on invertebrate zoology at this year’s Northeast Natural History Conference, April 12-14 2019 in Springfield, USA (https://www.eaglehill.us/NENHC_2019/NENHC2019.shtml). Depending on response, we may split the session into more narrow topics.  I am herein soliciting presentation abstracts for the session.  The Northeast Natural History Conference is great for biologists, resource managers, naturalists, artists, faculty and students to share information on all aspects of natural science in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada.  The conference has always provided an opportunity to network among peers, friends, and colleagues.  Topics can be very broad covering all aspects of invertebrate zoology (marine, freshwater, or terrestrial) and, depending on response, we may divide into multiple sessions. Please note, if your presentation relates to earthworms (oligochaetes), we have a special session planned specifically for this topic.

The session will run a total of 90 minutes (twice that amount if we receive several submissions in which case we will divide into multiple sessions), with the general structure as follows: a few minutes for session overview by me and introduction then 18 minute presentations to follow with two minutes for questions/answers.  If you are interested, please contact (RSVP) me DIRECTLY at 508-494-8764 or unionid at comcast.net<mailto:unionid at comcast.net>  and/or submit an abstract to directly to me.  I apologize for the late announcement but abstract SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR THIS SESSION is February 18th, 2019. Submit your title and abstract to me at unionid at comcast.net.  If you can just please minimally get a title to me by then so we can make a schedule and post program speakers online.  Participation is first come- first served so get your abstract in early.  Presenters must register for the conference and pay the applicable registration fee.
