And remember, if your paper has historical content, submit it for review by the Historical Committee (we will post an online form for doing so in early April). In 2006 the Historical Section of the Botanical Society of America established the Emanuel D. Rudolph Award for the best student paper/poster on a historical subject in botany to be awarded at the annual meeting (PSB 52(4): 127). Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to consider presenting a paper, poster or symposium on a historical subject in botany to be eligible for this honor.

Go to www.botany.org to submit your application(s). Yes, even those old images sitting on your computer may be worth $500...

See you in Vancouver!
