One and all, It's time to start thinking about that abstract for GSA in Salt Lake City this year (16-19 October). The deadline is July 12, so there's still plenty of time. As we do every year, the Paleontological Society is sponsoring a large number of sessions and other activities, which we want to bring to the attention of as much of the paleo community as possible. The presence of paleo at GSA steadily increases every year and this year represents a record number of proposed topical sessions. The Short Course and Pardee Symposium are included in the list below just to let people know what the topics for those will be this year. All the topical sessions are a mixture of invited and volunteered abstracts, so if you see one that interests you, please contact the organizers for more information. And, of course, the technical sessions are all volunteered abstracts, so talks and posters on all things paleontological are invited and encouraged.
