Hi Coral Listers,
On behalf of the International Symbiosis Society, I would like to invite you to the 9th ISS Congress. The meeting will be held at Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA from July 15-20, 2018. The ISS Congress is the sanctioned meeting of the International Symbiosis Society and is held every three years. It is the primary international meeting focusing on symbioses, including complex interactions between hosts and their microbiomes. The Congress is anticipated to bring together 400 symbiosis scientists from up to 20 nations to present the latest research in symbioses, their ubiquity in nature and their impact on all environments on the planet.
