ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHEASTERN BIOLOGISTS (ASB)

PROMOTING BIOLOGY THROUGH RESEARCH AND EDUCATION FOR MORE THAN 75 YEARS.

What is ASB?

The Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB) held its first meeting in Athens, GA, in 1937, and has met every year since with the exception of 1943, 1944, and 1945 due to WWII. Our purpose is promote research and education in the biological sciences by providing a student-friendly, networking environment through our annual meetings. Our affiliates include the Southern Appalachian Botanical Society (SABS), the Southeastern Section of the Ecological Society of America (SE ESA), the Southeastern Section of the Botanical Society of America (SE BSA), and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT).

What do you value most about your ASB experience?

I've always appreciated ASB as a perfect level of interaction with peers: well-attended by regional peers, but not as overwhelming as say, the meeting of the [national society]. ASB is particularly nice for graduate students, allowing them to interact with well-respected scientists and to make oral or poster presentations without the intimidation level they sometimes experience at the larger national and international level meetings."  - ​Member survey response - 2016
