Had a great meeting talking science and discussing avenues for moving frontiers at the Maryland aquatic viral ecology meeting last week. Many thanks to co-organizers @juliepourtois.bsky.social and @tgoel.bsky.social, and to all who participated!

Excited to bring a session to ASLO 2025 Aquatic Sciences Meeting (end March 2025) on ‘Viral Interactions and Ecological Dynamics’, with Elaine Luo and Kristina Mojica. Abstracts are due October 21st, see more details here: aslo.org/charlotte-2025/
ASLO 2025 Aquatic Sciences Meeting, 26-31 March 2025, Charlotte NC, USA Abstract deadline: 21 October 2024 Session SS17: Viral interactions and ecological dynamics We invite submissions focusing on the analysis of field sampling, experimental systems, theory, modeling and/or bioinformatics approaches. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions that integrate multiple lines of evidence and those which seek to quantify rates and processes. Topics of interest include the regulation of virus-host interactions, biophysical interactions, mortality rates and population dynamics, the influence on aquatic food web functioning and biogeochemical cycling, novel virus-host systems and other studies that advance our understanding of the vast roles that viruses play in aquatic ecosystems.
