Hello All, The Soil Ecology Society is an international organization of researchers, students, environmental professionals and others interested in the advancement and promotion of soil biology and ecology. The SES holds a biennial conference which addresses contemporary issues in the field of soil ecology, and which provides a forum for ecologists, soil scientists, and members of related disciplines, to present original research results, participate in meeting symposia and workshops, and identify priorities for future research. We are currently working on updating our membership focusing first on collating more up to date contact list of those that would like to know what the Soil Ecology Society is doing and developing a more comprehensive understanding of the needs of our members. If you are interested in information on membership, updating your contact information, getting information on our very exciting upcoming meeting with the Society of Nematologists in an amazing setting at the University of Vermont, Burlington Vermont July 12-15, 2009 (http://www.uvm.edu/conferences/sonsesconference/) or just interested in receiving information on our events, please send your contact information to sjmor...@bradley.edu. You will then receive a link to a member needs survey within the next couple of weeks. Thanks for your interest.
