[Taxacom] International Botanical Congress abstract deadline and travel awards

[Richard Olmstead]

The 18th International Botanical Congress (IBC2011) will be held in 
Melbourne, Australia, 23-30 July, 2011.  The deadline for poster 
abstracts and early registration is Feb. 1.

The American Society of Plant Taxonomists (ASPT) and the Botanical 
Society of America (BSA) are offering travel awards to to students, 
postdocs, and early career faculty (in first 3 years of first faculty 
position) to help offset the cost of attending for those who will 
benefit most from participating.  To be eligible for a travel award 
you must be either presenting a poster or speaking in a symposium. 
Priority will be given to Society members.  Membership rates for both 
societies are modest, with discounted rates for students and 
postdocs.
