ANNUAL MEETING: THE ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC MEETING TRADITIONALLY IS HELD FOR FIVE DAYS IN DECEMBER AND IS ATTENDED BY ABOUT 6,000 PEOPLE. IT INCLUDES SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIA SUMMARIZING RECENT ADVANCES IN CELL BIOLOGY, AND PRESENTATION OF APPROXIMATELY 3,000 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FINDINGS. THE ABSTRACTS OF SCIENTIFIC PAPERS FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING ARE PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE SOCIETY. THE MEETING ALSO FEATURES COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR SCIENTISTS WORKING IN THE FIELD OF BIOLOGY. THE EXHIBITS INCLUDE SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS, LABORATORY EQUIPMENT, CHEMICALS, AND PUBLICATIONS. THE ANNUAL MEETING ALSO FEATURES EXTENSIVE EDUCATION, CAREER, PUBLIC POLICY AND SESSIONS OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES AND WOMEN.
JOURNAL AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS: THE ASCB OWNS AND PUBLISHES THE SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE CELL, THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL CBE - LIFE SCIENCES EDUCATION, AND THE ASCB NEWSLETTER, PUBLISHED 6 TIMES A YEAR.
SCIENCE, OUTREACH AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR CELL BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPS AND MANAGES MULTIPLE SCIENCE, OUTREACH, AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.
