On behalf of the organizers of the 10.5 US HAB Symposium, I am pleased to announce that the Symposium website is now live: http://ushabs.com

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the local organizing committee and the US National HAB Committee decided to postpone the 11th US Symposium on Harmful Algae in New York until Fall 2022. In the meantime, we wanted to provide an opportunity for the US HAB research and management communities to meet together and elevate the student, postdoctoral, and early career members of our community, many of whom are most impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic at a crucial time in their careers. The program for this meeting will center around presentations (oral and poster sessions) from student, postdoctoral, and early career (< 3 years post terminal degree) community members.

This virtual meeting will not replace our in person meeting, but will provide an opportunity for our community to gather together during these strange times! We still look forward to gathering in person in New York in 2022!

Key Dates:

• Abstract submission deadline: March 15

• Deadline for Registration: May 1

We look forward to seeing you all virtually!
