IBNS 2020 may have been cancelled, but we still want to see your research. We know of the disappointment at not getting to present your research to our Society and receive the feedback and networking you deserve! Therefore, we at IBNS are pleased to announce the creation of a subcommittee pledged to creating a mechanism wherein you can present your submitted abstracts to all members for feedback and discussion. Heading this subcommittee is Dr. Julianne Jett, with help from Past Presidents Scott Hall and Steve Kent, as well as major contributors from the Program, Education & Training, Ethics & Diversity, and Membership & Communications committees in Fair Vassoler, Jill McGaughy, Gregory Carr, Daphne Ling, Donald McEachron, Elizabeth Byrnes, Sarah Baracz, Marianne Van Wagner, and myself. Get your posters ready, be prepared to take people through them, and interact with your fellow IBNS scientists in early June! There may even be a social event after, in lieu of our usual banquet. We hope you are keeping well, and you find this opportunity a valuable goal, certainly we look forward to seeing you! Jared Dr. Jared Young
Covid-19 Message from IBNS President, Jared Young. March 18, 2020. IBNS 2020 Update To IBNS Members and Colleagues:
Yes, IBNS 2020 in Glasgow will have to be cancelled. For the sake of your health, world health, and to end the stress of uncertainty, we are going to cancel the 2020 meeting in Glasgow, but don’t think this is the end, we will still go to Glasgow but in 2022! A 2-year delay sure, but the chance to see you all in my home city, we cannot pass that up! It may be a different kind of world by then, but I still look forward to welcoming you there with all my Scottish heart! We know this news is disappointing to all of you that have put in so much effort for this meeting, with an outstanding lineup of keynote speakers, symposia, diversity celebrations, outings, and of course the banquet Outlander style! We will bring it all back for 2022. The details are hazy of course, but we will get you them as we figure them out, we just wanted you to know the news ASAP so that you can start organizing. For example, we will be refunding all fees, registrations etc. as soon as we can. We will reach out soon with details! It is with a very heavy heart I write this, but also with pride at the level of support you have poured out and how everyone has pulled together during this tumultuous time. We will still be having our 30th Anniversary meeting in Puerto Vallarta in June 2021, with Keynotes already lined up, so those of you missing us, start thinking of what to put together for that celebration – you have the time!
