[Fwd: Paleo Society Sessions at 2013 GSA Meeting]

["Thomas R. Holtz, Jr." <tholtz@umd.edu>]

Greetings,

For the vert paleo community, and especially to graduate students: if you
can find the resources and time to get to another conference immediately
before SVP this year, the GSA Denver meeting has a number of
paleontological topics of interest.

I know that the departmental affiliation of the SVP has had an extremely
strong shift to the BIOL side in the last decade and half (compared to
more even GEOL/BIOL split before). It would be nice to see a stronger
presence of the vertebrate community at GSA, since we have a lot in
insights to offer.

Hello Paleontologists:

Our Program Coordinator, Tom Olszewski, has compiled a list of the
PS-sponsored proposed sessions for the 2013 GSA Annual Meeting in Denver
(27-30 October). You can find out more information by following this link:

This is a remarkably long and diverse list showing the robust intellectual
health of our profession. Each session needs a minimum number of
participants before it becomes an official part of the GSA program, so we
encourage you to support your colleagues by volunteering abstracts for
them.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Wilson
Secretary of the Paleontological Society
