News and Updates

President's Message - April 2026
Dear PNIRS Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share several important updates and opportunities for engagement within our community.
First, I want to highlight our upcoming annual meeting, which will take place June 22-25 in New Orleans, Louisiana. We would truly love to see you there this year. With so much happening in the world around us, it can be tempting to step back and wait for the dust to settle. However, if we want the values we care deeply about--especially the advancement of science--to remain strong, this is precisely the time to step forward, engage, and support one another.
Our annual meeting is where we come together to do what we do best: share, challenge, and advance science. A strong turnout is not only vital for the intellectual energy of the meeting but also critical to the financial health of the Society. Your participation truly matters.
