Symposium accepted: ESA 2017

A symposium I'm organizing with Deb Paul and Pam Soltis, from iDigBio, has been accepted as a SysEB (Systematics and Evolutionary Biology) Section symposium for Entomology 2017, 65th Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America, being held November 5-8, 2017 in Denver, Colorado.
Abstracts? Recordings? Who? Here is the wiki page.

Our symposium aims to showcase research, extension, and education projects that are benefiting from the biodiversity data captured thanks to collection digitization projects, including applications in systematics, ecology, conservation, crop protection, and public health, demonstrating the importance of integration across disciplines with the intent to inspire new projects.

Big Data and Bugs: How Massively Collected Biodiversity Data Are Changing the Way We Do Insect Science will take place on Sunday, November 5, 2017, from 1:30 PM-5:30 PM
