WHY JOIN ASB? In support of our mission, ASB strives to provide an atmosphere that is collaborative, collegial, and open to all disciplines. The strength of ASB is dependent on both diversity in biological sub-field interests, as well as diversity in those individuals involved in those sub-fields. We welcome scholarly and applied work from the many diverse disciplines of the biological sciences. Subject areas include, but are not limited to, floristic & plant systematics, entomology, invertebrate zoology, community & population ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation biology, microbiology, genetics, cell & molecular biology, as well as scientific pedagogy. Faculty and students (both graduates and undergraduates) are welcomed to present their research in a friendly, collegial environment that encourages positive and supportive feedback. We encourage scientists from a diversity of backgrounds to join us for our next meeting!

Tell us how ASB has impacted you, either professionally or personally, and your story could be featured right here on the ASB homepage!

DR. JUDY AWONG-TAYLOR (Georgia Gwinnett College)
HAS THIS TO SAY…I have been attending ASB (along with my students) for the past 15 years and always keep coming back! It's a great conference for both undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their work in an atmosphere that is welcoming, nurturing, and collegial! My students feel comfortable talking about their research projects and enjoy seeing what their peers at other institutions are doing. It has really inspired my students to continue research and go on to graduate school. If you are looking for a conference for you and your students…. This is it!
