The society publishes the Journal of Phycology and the Phycological Newsletter. Annual meetings are held, often jointly with other national or international societies of mutual member interest. PSA awards include the Bold Award for the best student paper at the annual meeting, the Lewin Award for the best student poster at the annual meeting, the Provasoli Award for outstanding papers published in the Journal of Phycology, The PSA Award of Excellence (given to an eminent phycologist to recognize career excellence), the Lang Fellowship for early career researchers, and the Prescott Award for the best Phycology book published within the previous two years. The society provides financial aid to graduate student members through Croasdale Fellowships for enrollment in phycology courses, Hoshaw Travel Awards for travel to the annual meeting and Grants-In-Aid for supporting research.

While we are not able to all be together physically again this year, using what we learned from last year and having more time to prepare the current program director (PD) Schonna Manning with the aid of our previous PD Amy Carlile have put together an amazing program for us all. This program will have all of the traditional interactions that our live meetings have had, from talks and posters, to plenaries and symposia, from workshops to our business meeting. We will even be having a virtual auction hosted by the Chair of Board of Trustees Morgan Vis! This meeting will have everything except the actual food. And by everything, I mean the return of the Bold Award and the Lewin Award as well! With well over 600 attendees this will be the largest PSA annual meeting ever! I believe this is because we all enjoy algae so much and the cost (free) had nothing to do with this record attendance. Towards the future we will be using all that we have and will learn about virtual meetings to extend the reach of our future meetings to allow for greater attendance and participation, so stay tuned for more information. Enjoy this (last) all virtual meeting, and looking forward to our meetings in reality, with a splash of virtual for taste. Eric W. Linton PSA President 2021 v PSA Organizing Committee Message While we all wish we could meet in person, we hope that you enjoy the virtual meeting through Whova. Be sure to create an account/login to access the meeting content. We have an amazing program with >120 contributed talks, 60 posters, and 25 lightning talks. Please use the Whova platform to attend sessions, connect with colleagues, and continue your scientific discussions. Should you miss a talk (or two!), all presentations will be available for viewing through Whova up to two weeks after the meeting adjourns. Thank you for your participation to help make PSA2021 the largest PSA meeting ever! - Schonna & Amy vi PSA Meeting Code of Conduct PSA meetings are open to PSA members as well as others interested in phycology.
