Hallo! The San Francisco 2015 Biennial Conference is just around the corner! The conference committee and reviewers have conducted a phenomenal feat, reviewing and scheduling some 2000 presentations. The Student Awards this year is honored to announce that Sylvia Earle has agreed to present the prizes but before we get to that stage and the champagne ..... we need judges to conduct the on site assessments! We have tried to streamline the process a little this year and shall be providing an online evaluation form as well as trying to match judges to their preferred sessions. In the past many judges have volunteered and we hope that you will do so again this year. Please email the committee and we shall communicate with you directly to start scheduling Looking forward to hearing from you Lindsay, Chris, Julia and Susan 2015 Awards Committee Contact email lindsay.jp@gmail.com
