Annual Meeting at EB 2020
Register now for our most important meeting of the year!
Members’ favorite resource is the Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology (EB) — and for good reason — it’s the world’s largest gathering of anatomical science researchers and educators.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update for EB
The health and well-being of Experimental Biology 2020
attendees is of the utmost importance to us. The EB management team and AAA is paying
close attention to guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the Coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) and is following the lead of these agencies and local health
departments.
AAA and the EB management team will continue to monitor this
situation, while moving forward with plans to deliver an exceptional meeting. Travelers
are encouraged to always exercise healthy travel habits and follow guidance
issued by official sources of public health information.
A group of frequently asked questions centered on COVID-19 is available on the EB website.
