​​​​

APS Research Forums are designed to foster discussion, feedback, and professional growth in all disciplines of plant pathology. Each session features new research from APS members, offering an opportunity to share expertise and learn from fellow researchers.

APS members get complimentary access to this and other APS Continuing Education resources.  Join today to get access!

Student & Early Career Forums


The Student and Early Career Research Forums provide an invaluable opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral candidates to present their research progress, receive constructive feedback, and connect with the APS community. They'll also learn from the experience and insights of professional researchers in our field.

Each forum is hosted by an APS Subject Matter Committee, fostering a collaborative environment for meaningful discussions. While all APS members are welcome, we especially encourage Student and Early Career members, along with their research advisors, to actively participate whenever possible.​

Come prepared to engage, share insights, and learn from one another!

Stay tuned for our next Forum
