Symposia
Each symposium is a specially-arranged set of talks focused on a given theme and put together by a member-organizer. For the most part, symposia are open to everyone. Inclusive Teaching Practices Through the HHMI IE3 Program
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute rolled out the Inclusive Excellence 3 (IE3) program in 2020 with the goal of building institutional capacity for inclusion so students from all backgrounds can thrive in science. The 104 institutions receiving funds were placed in one of seven learning community clusters aimed at creating inclusive STEM learning environments. Participants in this symposium represent four learning community clusters and will share their successes and challenges in implementing inclusive teaching practices on their campuses. The symposium will conclude with a panel discussion allowing participants to ask questions of the institutional representatives. BIODIVERSITY IN PERIL
Organizer: LaRoy Brandt, Lincoln Memorial University
It is widely accepted that habitat destruction and fragmentation caused by increasing urbanization and agriculturalization to meet human needs are leading causes of biodiversity loss worldwide, all of which is exacerbated by climate change. With increasing recognition of rates of extinction, shrinking populations, and significant range contractions of animal and plant populations in both terrestrial and aquatic habitats, the need for research and understanding ecological issues related to biodiversity as well as human dimensions of policy, policy enforcement, human behaviors, human health, and natural resource conservation is an ever increasing need. 
Old Growth Communities in the Southeastern US: What have we learned and how do we find them?
Organizers:
Margaret Woodbridge, USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station Neil Pederson, Harvard University Old-growth communities are facing novel threats at a time when interest in understanding, managing, restoring, and conserving these communities has spiked. Despite the interest in old growth, there are so many things we don’t understand about the continuity, characteristics, and interactions of these communities. This symposium brings together speakers whose work contributes to the understanding and conservation of old-growth plant communities across the southeastern US, including those who have worked to create and improve sampling and detection methods for identifying old-growth communities. Individual talks will highlight not just recent and ongoing research, but the lessons learned from sampling and research methods, as well as important attributes, used to identify and delineate old-growth communities. The interdisciplinary nature of the symposium (federal and state agencies, universities, non-profits) provides a valuable opportunity to discuss collaborations across disciplines as well as future research needs to inform conservation and management.
QuillCon III: Systematics, Evolution, and Conservation of isoëtes
This symposium will feature recent developments in the study of the genus Isoëtes, touching on the first quillwort genomes, new phylogenetic, phylogenomic, and population genomic analyses, field-based discoveries, and developing conservation programs. We will feature the new generation of early-career scientists and students interested in all geographic and temporal scales of the 300 million year Isoëtalean lineage. Tree-ring Science for Ecosystem Management
Organizers:
Thomas Saladyga, Concord University Clay Tucker, University of Southern Mississippi Tree-ring science, or dendrochronology, is an important tool for understanding long-term ecosystem processes and informing management practices. This symposium brings together a group of speakers whose work explores the critical role of tree-ring data in managing and conserving diverse ecosystems across the U.S. Southeast and beyond. Speakers will highlight recent and ongoing research with a focus on how tree-ring records can inform our understanding of past climate conditions, disturbances, and ecosystem responses. The symposium will stimulate discussions on integrating tree-ring science into ecosystem management strategies as well as opportunities for collaboration across disciplines.

Workshops
Workshops allow attendees to participate in hands-on demonstrations and energetic discussions of best practices in research and teaching. All attendees are welcome to attend workshops, but preregistration may be required. Panel Discussions ASB’s program often includes panels that provide focused discussion on a topic by a group of experts. Past panel topics included applying for grants, getting into graduate school, and increasing inclusivity in academia. All registrants are welcome to attend panels. After Graduation: Delving into Post-Baccalaureate Options and Graduate School Applications
Organizers:
ASB Committee on Human Diversity Shoshana Katzman, Agnes Scott College This workshop will introduce students and advisors to the many post-baccalaureate options that they can pursue as well as address participants’ awareness of the key elements of successful graduate school applications. The workshop will begin by introducing both students and faculty to different options available to students as final career goals once they finish their undergraduate degree. The world of post-baccalaureate certificate programs, as well as graduate masters programs, can be confusing and hard to maneuver for mentors, advisors, and students. We will discuss the different types of programs available and how students and advisors can navigate this topic to find a good fit for their future career goals.
Eavesdropping on Ecosystems: Using Acoustic Data in Biology
Organizer: John Quinn, Furman University
Acoustic data analysis is relevant to a wide range of biological disciplines. Whether studying insect phenology, biodiversity, conservation, or bird communication, the ability to interpret sound can offer new insights. The workshop will equips members with valuable and transferable skills, including data collection, processing, and analysis, which can be applied to various research areas.
Honey, I Blew-Up the Molecules: Using 3D-Printing and Virtual Technologies as a Multi-faceted and Multi-disciplinary Pedagogical Practice

Field Trips
Field trips offer registrants the chance to visit a local ecosystem or laboratory guided by a local expert. Don’t miss the chance to see endemic species, a unique ecosystem, or visit a prestigious lab or collection. To allow registrants to join a field trip without missing presentations, field trips are scheduled on Wednesday and Saturday, before and after the presentation days, so make sure you arrive early or stick around to take advantage of these unique opportunities. We ask that you register with a nominal fee before attending a field trip to make sure we have an accurate headcount. Field Trip Destination: Waccamaw National Wildlife RefugE
Short Description: The Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge encompasses almost 27,000 acres of wetland and upland forest with entrances in Georgetown and Horry County. Dr. Scott Parker (Coastal Carolina University Department of Biology) will host a guided tour on Wednesday, March 12 starting at 1:30 pm. with a return to the Convention Center around 3:30 pm. at the Gray Lake Blvd. entrance off Hwy 544. There will be a van that can accommodate up to 12 passengers available but others are welcome to drive or carpool. Maps to the entrance will be provided to those signing up. The entrance to the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge is about 20 minutes’ drive from the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. Timeline: 1:30pm - 3:30pm Wednesday March 12 Number of Participants: 20 (up to 12 transportation provided) Organizer: Dr. Michelle Barthet, Coastal Carolina University Field Trip Leader: Dr. Scott Parker, Coastal Carolina University Field Trip Destination: Waties IslanD
Short Description: The Anne Tilghman Boyce Coastal Reserve includes over 1,500 acres of wilderness in the northeast corner of South Carolina including part of Waties Island, the last undeveloped barrier island in South Carolina, and the adjoining uplands of Little River Neck. The reserve was donated to the Coastal Education Foundation, part of Coastal Carolina University (CCU), by Anne Tilghman Boyce in 1995. Waties Island is maintained and utilized by CCU as a field site for marine science and ecological studies. Dr. Lauren Stefaniak (Marine Science) and Dr. Kevin Godwin (Biology) of CCU will host a guided tour of this beautiful coastal reserve highlighting organisms of ecological interest from the marine and wetland environment. Please bring your own lunch. Timeline: 9:00am - 12:00pm Saturday March 15 Number of Participants: 40 (transportation provided) Organizer: Dr. Michelle Barthet, Coastal Carolina University Field Trip Leader: Lauren Stefaniak, Coastal Carolina University; Kevin Godwin, Coastal Carolina University Field Trip Destination: A small borrow pit area near Lake WaccamaW
Join us in a chance to collect diverse early Pleistocene fossils, which provide clues to past and future climate change. This field trip will visit a small excavation in Columbus County, NC. These fossils include diverse marine invertebrates with a few freshwater to brackish species and very rare fossil land snails. The location requires a very short walk from the vehicles to the excavated piles from the lower Waccamaw Formation. The final closure of the Isthmus of Panama about 2.5 million years ago blocked flow of water from the Caribbean through to the eastern Pacific. Diverted northward, this created a stronger Gulf Stream, which created excellent conditions for a diverse subtropical fauna in southeastern North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina. A combination of sea level change and local tectonic adjustment led to changing environments from coastal freshwater to roughly 60 m depth mid-shelf marine settings. Over 800 species of mollusks have been found at this site, and over 1200 species from the Waccamaw Formation in the course of our research. Micromollusks are especially diverse. Corals, bryozoans, barnacles, and pieces of sand dollars are common, as are traces of boring by sponges, barnacles, bivalves, sipunculids, and other animals. However, the stronger Gulf Stream brought more warm water further north, where more evaporation led to higher precipitation at high latitudes. Year to year accumulation of snow built up into glaciers which pushed south across the continent, leading to sea level drops and cold temperatures, dooming many of the more specialized species. We will depart from the meeting hotel at 8:30 AM on Saturday March 15. The site is approximately an hour north. We will return by 1 PM. The site can be muddy; beware of fire ants and sandspurs. Bring a water bottle. We will have bags for collecting and digging tools if needed. Guides to common finds will be provided. Carpooling is encouraged; there will be ample room for parking on a well-maintained dirt road. The site is near Lake Waccamaw and Green Swamp, if anyone wants to make a side trip. Timeline: 8:30am - 1:00pm Saturday March 15 Number of Participants: 20 (up to 12 transportation provided) Organizer: Dr. David Campbell, Gardner-Webb University Field Trip Leaders: Dr. David Campbell, Gardner-Webb University; Timothy Campbell, Gardner-Webb University Field Trip Destination: Quillworting the lowcountry
Short Description: Field Trip Associated with Quillcon III Symposium. Symposium and field trip sponsored in part by the Southern Appalachian Botanical Society and lead by SC Heritage Trust Botanists Keith Bradley and Eric Unberg.
