NEAS STRIDE 2021 (surviving the “rocky intertidal” during extremes) will be held as a virtual meeting on Saturday, April 10, 2021. The conveners are Louise Lewis and Peter Siver, with assistance from many others!
NEAS STRIDE 2021 will feature excellent research by our student and professional members and allow us to share ideas about science and teaching. All presentations will be short in duration and posted on-line in advance of the meeting to give everyone time to view and digest the work presented. On Saturday, we will broadcast the student oral award presentations, with live Q&A, hold an afternoon poster session and discussions, have time for socializing and reconnecting, and perhaps even to bid on/win one of Craig Schneider’s coveted mini plant presses!
NEAS STRIDE 2021 is FREE to all NEAS members (dues are $10)! Members will have access to the virtual meeting and can submit abstracts. Student members can apply for presentation, book, and research awards. You can sponsor memberships for your students or others, too!
