Dear molluscalist,
This email confirms what I’m sure everyone has predicted….the MAM meeting originally scheduled for 25 April 2020 has been postponed. We will regroup in the fall and make a determination about whether we will reschedule for later in the
year, or take a forced year off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Best wishes and stay well,
Liz Shea

Subject: Mid Atlantic Malacologists meeting on 25 April 2020
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
Please join us on
Saturday 25 April 2020 at the Delaware Museum of Natural History in Wilmington, DE for the 22nd Mid-Atlantic Malacologists meeting!
This informal, one-day event is designed to facilitate contact among professional, amateur, and student biologists who study mollusks. All topics and taxa are welcome.
Doors open at 9am for coffee and pastries. Talks start around 9:30 and go until 4:30 with a break for lunch. Presentations (15 minutes max.) are very informal and cover topics as diverse
as current research, trip reports, and collection issues. There are no dues, officers, abstracts, or publications associated with the meeting. We spend the day getting caught up on current research, networking with new colleagues, and laughing with friends.
The DMNH collection and library are available for use before or during the meeting. Interested participants should make arrangements with Mr. Alex Kittle, Mollusk Collection Manager ([log in to unmask])
so specimens or books can be pulled in advance.
Get in touch with Liz ([log in to unmask]) or Alex Kittle ([log in to unmask]) with questions, especially regarding
hotel accommodations.
Hope to see you in Wilmington this April!
Best wishes,
Liz
