American Malacological Society and Western Society of Malacologists Joint Meeting in Honolulu June 19th-23rd
Hello everyone,
June 19-23, 2018 the 84th Annual American Malacological Society (AMS) and the 51st Annual Western Society of Malacologists (WSM) will hold a joint meeting in Honolulu, HI.
I am the president of WSM and am helping to coordinate the conference and a citizen science symposium. I know some of you are paid to do research on snails and their relatives and some of you are not, but we are all united in our use of iNaturalist to further understanding of mollusks.
I wanted to make sure that those of you who normally attend these meetings knew about them and I also wanted to make sure those of you who are new to the work of malacological research and societies knew your contributions in the citizen science section and any part of the meeting would be more than welcome.
Both of these societies have a long history of amateur involvement and often people come to the meetings to learn, not just present.
The venue for this year's meeting will be the beautiful Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel, bookended with the reception at the Waikiki Aquarium, and closing banquet at the Bishop Museum.
