Conferences

AIMS has an annual meeting every spring. The annual meeting provides a forum for the sharing of member's research and ideas, as well as an opportunity for learning about new techniques and concepts. At other times during the year the society sponsors or co-sponsors special seminars on topics relevant to the society's membership. The society business meeting is held in conjunction with the research portion of the annual meeting.

Once you sign up as an AIMS member you can register for the conference through the Member Control Panel.

Branching Cell

Microtubules (green), their sites of nucleation (red/yellow) and nuclei (blue) are shown simultaneously throughout the hyphal cytoplasm of Allomyces macrogynus prepared using immunofluorescence methods and imaged with laser scanning confocal microscopy. Rearrangements in cytoplasmic order are typically coupled to major events of cell morphogenesis. This is evident here as the cell undergoes early stages of dichotomous branching. (Robert Roberson)
