Call for SSAR Symposium Proposals @ JMIH

Posted by

Symposia are important components of the Annual Meeting.  They allow researchers in a given subfield to come together and present the latest research in that area; benefit society members through interactions with symposium participants; and can result in proceedings, books, or special topic section in the Journal of Herpetology. We invite the submission of symposium proposals for SSAR at the 2018 Annual Joint Meetings of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. The deadline for electronic submission has been extended to March 17, 2017. See the SSAR website (https://ssarherps.org/meetings/symposium-proposals/) for submission guidelines.  

Journal of Herpetology seeking volunteers for help with second language abstracts

Posted by

Journal of Herpetology publishes second language abstracts in all languages.  We seek students (or interested professionals) who are fluent in languages other than English and Spanish to assist the editors in verifying the second language abstracts.  We would like to build a list of herpetologists who would be willing to perform this service for every language.  This would only require a few minutes of your time and would be a great help to the editors.  If you are willing to volunteer, please email Co-Editor Tiffany Doan stating your contact information and the languages in which you have fluency.
