Hello, We were hoping to make an announcement for the upcoming meeting for the Australia/New Zealand Student Chapter for the Society of Marine Mammalogy (ANZSCSMM). "Hello Australian and New Zealand Students! We are very excited to announce that the 2nd Biennial Meeting of the ANZ Student Chapter of the Society for Marine Mammology will be held from the *5th-7th November 2015* at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. This conference will provide ANZ students with the opportunity to present and discuss their research in a relaxed environment while meeting and networking with other marine mammalogy students and researchers. The two day conference will consist of student oral and poster presentations along with several guest speakers. If you are interested in attending please send an abstract (300 words max) to anzscsmm@gmail.com by the *31st August 2015. * In your email please indicate: · if you would like to give an oral presentation or present a poster, · for non-Sydney students please indicate if you will require accommodation (we have limited funding for out-of-state students to stay on campus at Macquarie), · and for Sydney students please indicate whether or not you would like to volunteer. Additionally, if you are not yet a member of the student chapter please fill out a membership registration from ( https://www.marinemammalscience.org/for-students/chapters/australianew-zeala...) and return the form with your abstract submission.
