Papers (contributed and special)

●    Note: “Contributed papers” are those panel organizers invite speakers to present. “Special papers” are those given by people requesting a non-panel time slot.

●    Please contact Brennan Ferguson (brennan.ferguson@usda.gov) if you would like to present a special paper on a forest pathology subject matter. Send a title and brief description of your proposed paper by March 24th.

●    If more requests are received than we have time for, we will review the date of receipt and titles, in order to select papers for presentation. Authors will be notified before closing of early registration.

●    As an alternative, remember that brief presentations (as arranged with the committee chair) may be given during committee meetings.

Posters

●    You are invited to submit a title and a brief description for the poster session. Posters may address any forest pathology-related topic.

●    Email abstracts to Patrick Bennett (patrick.bennett@usda.gov) by Friday May 5th to reserve a space for your poster.
