We are excited to announce the first annual Three Rivers Evolution Event (TREE), a new regional conference serving Western Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas, sponsored in part by the American Society of Naturalists. Researchers of all stages and institution types are welcome. TREE will take place on Saturday, September 9th, 2017 at the University of Pittsburgh and include multiple sessions of talks, a poster session, and a keynote lecture presented by Dr. Cynthia Beall of Case Western University. The abstract deadline is July 14th, and we encourage those interested in presenting talks or posters to apply. Registration is accepted until September.
