Greetings from the DNNSB Leadership! We are looking forward to hopefully seeing you at the upcoming SICB meeting, regardless of whether you join us in-person or via the adjacent virtual platform. Our divisional priorities continue to include recruitment of colleagues into DNNSB, especially students and scientists in early stages of their careers. Please join us at the Members Meeting in Phoenix where, among other things, we will discuss possible ways to use DNNSB funds at future meetings to support travel of under-represented students to the annual meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n This year division members elected Jessica Fox (Case Western Reserve University) as DNNSB Secretary for a 3-year term.\u00a0 Jessica will take over after the end of the 2022 meeting in Phoenix, replacing long-time Secretary, Lisa Mangiamele. Thank you, Lisa, for your many years of service to SICB and DNNSB!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We also voted overwhelmingly to amend our bylaws that clarified eligibility for the Best Student Presentation competition and updated procedures for nominations to elected positions.
