Do you have a toad-ally awesome symposium idea?
Symposia are important components of SSAR at the annual Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (JMIH) that allow researchers to come together and present the latest research in that area. The SSAR invites proposal submissions by March 15 of the year prior to the JMIH when the symposium would take place (due March 15, 2025, for the 2026 JMIH). Proposal criteria can be found on the SSAR website. This coming year the SSAR can support funding requests for up to $2,000 for a sponsored symposium. If you have been thinking about a symposium topic that would be of interest within SSAR at the 2026 JMIH, please consider submitting a symposium proposal!
