Blog’n it up in Austin, Texas

Here it is-- the place to read about all of the happenings at the 2005 APS meeting in Austin, Texas. I’ll be providing daily updates on poster sessions, talks, socials, and the music scene around Austin. Can't make it to the meeting? You can catch a glimpse of the action right here…Attending the meeting, and want to be blog-famous? Find me and stop me for a photo, and we’ll upload a shot of you enjoying the APS meeting, Austin- style…

Grads, make sure to attend the APS Graduate Student Committee (GSC) Meeting, Saturday July 30, from 5:30-7:00 pm. We're going to elect a new chair and a new vice-chair for the upcoming year (2005-2006), generate ideas for symposia for the next annual meeting, talk about the APS Foundation travel award process, and introduce new members to the new and improved APS committee system...I expect to see YOU there!

Have some artwork hidden in your bag? The GSC invites your participation in the Art in Phytopathology exhibit. We’ll display your creation depicting your favorite plant pathogen. And hey, we’ll be presenting small monetary awards for the top graduate student art exhibits—what more of an incentive do you need to participate?

Finish that poster. Rehearse that talk. I'll see you in Austin…

Cheers,
David Schmale III
Chair, APS Graduate Student Committee (2004-2005)
