The ASN election is now open (March 1 to 31)!

ASN is looking for new members to serve on several committees starting in 2023. Committee service is a great way to help shape the future of the society and its impact on the community, while working with a great team of colleagues. We are actively seeking self-nominations and nominations from the community because we are deeply committed to diversifying representation on the committees and expanding society leadership. Any member with an interest in serving the society is encouraged to volunteer. Please encourage promising candidates by bringing this announcement to their attention.

The ASN is delighted to announce its newest Honorary Lifetime Member: Ellen Ketterson, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Biology, Indiana University.

The American Society of Naturalists Graduate Council invites applications for three new graduate student representatives to join us this year. Members of the GC serve three-year terms and are responsible for representing the needs and interests of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to the executive council of the ASN.

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2022 IDEA Award, Diversity of Nature and its co-founders Melanie Massey and Suchinta Arif!
