The Systematics Association President’s Lecture this year will feature the second edition of ‘The Joy of Discovery’, an event that provides a forum to share the excitement of discovering a new taxon or discovering the identity of an unknown specimen. We will have five short talks from speakers representative of our international membership from across the globe, and to facilitate this international event we are holding it online.
This event will be preceded by the association’s Annual General Meeting (5 pm GMT), also online. All Systematics Association members are welcome and encouraged to attend the AGM.
Free attendance!
