The inaugural Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting (JASM) will be held in Portland, Oregon this Sunday May 18 through Friday, May 23.

“Bridging Genes to Ecosystems: Aquatic Science at a Time of Rapid Change” is the theme for this first joint meeting of four of the leading aquatic scientific societies: Society for Freshwater Science (SFS), Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), Phycological Society of America (PSA), and Society of Wetland Scientists (SWS).

There will be an NSF town hall held on Monday 12:15-1:15 pm in room B-114. Because a few program officers can’t make that session, they will also gather and be available to answer any questions towards the end of the poster session on Tuesday afternoon.

If you wish to arrange a special time to meet with one of these folks you can contact them by email.
