Plant Scientists Among Victims of Huntsville Shooting
Two of the people killed in the February 12 shooting at the University of Alabama, Huntsville, were former ASPB members. Gopi K. Podila, chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, worked in the areas of bioenergy, plant–microbe interactions, plant genetics, and biotechnology. Maria Ragland Davis had a doctorate from North Carolina State University and studied molecular biology and plant genetics. ASPB extends its condolences to the victims’ families and to the faculty, students, and staff of the University of Alabama, Huntsville.

As part of the Society Affiliate Program, ASPB members receive deeply discounted $99 personal subscriptions to F1000 (compared with $350 at full price). Please contact F1000 directly and quote code F1000ASPB.

 
 


The American Society of Plant Biologists has published The Arabidopsis Book (TAB) as a free online compendium since 2002. ASPB is providing funds for the production of TAB as a public service.

Founded by Chris Somerville and Elliot Meyerowitz, TAB now has nearly 60 chapters online. In 2007, TAB received close to 100,000 full-text downloads.

The current editorial board is working hard to continue TAB’s ongoing expansion:

Rob Last (Editor-in-Chief), Michigan State University
Caren Chang, University of Maryland
Georg Jander, Boyce Thompson Institute
Dan Kliebenstein, University of California, Davis
Rob McClung, Dartmouth College
Harvey Millar, University of Western Australia

The board is overseeing all new content development as well as updates to existing chapters to keep TAB the most comprehensive and current work on Arabidopsis.

Attention Plant Biologists and Agricultural Scientists in Developing Countries!


Help Support ASPB and Other Nonprofit Scientific Journals

Nonprofit scientific societies and associations publish many of the finest scientific journals available today, but each alone lacks the financial resources to compete with commercial publishers’ marketing efforts. ASPB has joined with 16 other nonprofit scientific societies and associations to form the Nonprofit Journals Group. This group needs your help to spread the word and create awareness for these valuable journals. Please visit the new Nonprofit Journals Group website and use the library recommendation form, found within each journal page, to request these journals for your library—and pass it on to your colleagues now!

Reminder!
In consideration of the low member subscription rates to the print versions of Plant Physiology and The Plant Cell and the free online access to both journals that all members enjoy, members agree to retain their personal copies of the journals for at least three years from the date of issue, not depositing them in any library or institution before the end of this time. Members also agree not to release their personal access code, assigned by ASPB, to any other party for the duration of their membership in ASPB. Thank you!
