2001 Bay Area Malacologists Gathering

The 2001 Bay Area Malacologists (BAM) gathering will be held on Saturday, April 28 in the Trustees Room at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
The meeting will start at 9:00 a.m. with coffee and doughnuts, and will conclude following all of the presentations, with a break for lunch, if needed. Our hosts at the Academy will be:
Dr. Terrence M. Gosliner (http://www.calacademy.org/research/curators/gosliner.htm) and Dr. Angel Valdes (http://siolibrary.ucsd.edu/slugsite/nudwk117.htm) of the Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Geology.

Mark your calendar and plan to give a presentation on any malacological topic, including current research or a discussion of an on-going research problem. Graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate. Informal discussions have proven very fruitful at BAM gatherings in the past.
Submit your name, title of presentation and length of time needed (usually 5 to 20 minutes), and any special equipment (VCR?). Standard slide projector and overhead projector will be available. Maps and directions to the California Academy of Sciences can be sent to anyone unfamiliar with its location.
