Thank you for participating in the SDB membership
survey conducted last December. Results of
the survey were discussed at the January SDB
Board of Directors meeting and the SDB Board and
staff are working to implement many of your
suggestions. More than seventy percent of
respondents expressed an interest in communicating
their science to legislators and the public. At the SDB annual meeting in
Snowbird, the education symposium--How to
Communicate Your Science: Do's and Don'ts--will
address how to communicate your science with legislators,
teachers, and the general public.
Seven SDB regional meetings will be held throughout
the US this year (five this spring and two in the
fall). Regional
meetings are an excellent opportunity for students
and postdocs to present their research and give
short talks. See
upcoming events below for meeting dates and
locations.
SDB is now accepting nominations for
President-elect, Secretary, and
Representatives for the Canada, and
Southeast regions. Go

details. Deadline is
March 2, 2015.
