Welcome

Hey, hey, hey, it’s time to be thinking about attending IAA’s 18th Symposium. The Symposium will be held July 18-23, 2010 in Columbia, Missouri, USA.

On behalf of the International Association of Astacology (IAA), the local organizing and advisory committee invite you with great pleasure to participate in the IAA18 Symposium. Researchers at all levels - scientists, representatives from industry and government, educators, post-docs, and students who are seeking publishing opportunities for their research are encouraged to present a poster or oral paper at the 18th IAA Symposia.

The conference will consist of a five-day scientific program, to be held on the campus of the University of Missouri University of Missouri, with presenters welcome to submit papers on all aspects of freshwater crayfish. We encourage delegates to consider presenting papers on all relevant crayfish topics including physiology, behavior, ecology, conservation, toxicology, diseases, aquaculture, and genetics, as well as other important topics relevant to crayfish including education and legislative issues.

We can guarantee the delegates a warm climate, plenty of nuisance insects, lively social events, and an expansion of your mental, physical, and spiritual being. IAA symposiums are all about renewing old friendships, befriending new colleagues, and mentoring young scientists. We look forward to seeing y’all in 2010.
