Dear GRC and others: It is our pleasure to announce that the 2017 (4th) International Symposium on Ranaviruses (ISR) will be held in Budapest, Hungary!! The 2017 ISR likely will be held jointly with the International Symposium on Viruses of Lower Vertebrates. Dr. Rachel Marschang<http://www.ranavirus.org/resources/grc-board/> will be leading organization. Several committees will need to be formed for planning, including fundraising, presentations and discussions, field trips and workshops, food and beverage, and outreach. Rachel will be soliciting help soon. Please consider volunteering and helping the GRC and Rachel organize the most professionally rewarding symposium to date! http://fwf.ag.utk.edu/mgray/ranavirus/ISR2017_BudapestProposal.pdf Rachel's email: [log in to unmask] All the Best, Matt ______________________________________________________________ Matthew J.
