It is di/cult to believe howmuch our world has changed since our 2020AAASAnnual Meeting
in February. The theme of the 2021 Annual Meeting,Understanding Dynamic Ecosystems,
took on a new and unexpected meaning, especially in light of how vital advances in science
and technology come together to meet and to overcome the challenges of today’s rapidly
changing world.
What 2020 has demonstrated is that coming together virtually to highlight and discuss
advances and collaborations across the STEM ecosystem is needed nowmore than ever—
somuch so that we are radically reducing the registration fee for our scientiIc program, thanks
in part to the generous support of our sponsors. We continue to ofer workshops, e-posters,
and other complimentary programming.
Just as the rest of the world has adapted to a new normal, so too has your Annual Meeting
team.Our new virtual format has transformedmany aspects of themeeting, and we extend our
gratitude to our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers for their patience and fexibility.
This February, we hope you will consider sharing your voice with our diverse community of
scientists, educators, policymakers, journalists, and many others.
Sincerely,
Claire M. Fraser, Ph.D.
