Golden Jubilee Conference of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology
13-17 August, 2017 San Diego, California
Society for Invertebrate Pathology (SIP) will be celebrating 50 years of science at the Golden Jubilee Conference on the University of California San Diego campus in La Jolla from 13 to 17 August, 2017.
About SIP: SIP is the premier scientific society dedicated to basic and applied research in diseases of invertebrates. Founded in 1967, SIP hosted its founding meeting in Seattle. Following its first annual conference at Ohio State University, Columbus, OH in 1968, annual conferences have been held in many locations in North America and other parts of the world. SIP conferences attract scientists, researchers, extension educators, students, and agricultural industry collaborators from around the world who share their research, exchange ideas, and explore networking opportunities in the field of invertebrate diseases. SIP has grown from having its first Microsporidia Division in 1969 followed by the Microbial Control Division in 1978 to its newest division Diseases of Beneficial Invertebrates formed in 2012. With Bacteria, Fungi, Nematodes, and Viruses Divisions, SIP members explore basic and applied aspects of microbial control of arthropod pests, diseases of beneficial invertebrates such as pollinators, natural enemies, and marine invertebrates.
Conference outline: Conference starts with a mixer on Sunday evening followed by scientific meetings from Monday to Thursday. We will celebrate the contribution of SIP to 50 years of research in invertebrate pathology and its different disciplines by a series of lectures on Monday morning. Social events at the conference include a 5K walking or running race, excursions to the San Diego Zoo and the USS Midway followed by a barbeque at the Birch Aquarium on Tuesday, and a banquet at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel on Thursday. Division business meetings are held during the evening hours of Monday and Wednesday. The Society business meeting, which is open to all conference attendees, is held Thursday morning.
