What Members Say
"I joined IS-MPMI as a Ph.D. student
and attended the 10th International Congress in
Madison, WI, U.S.A. I have found both this meeting
and the 11th International Congress exciting, informative,
and challenging. It is a fantastic opportunity to
meet with other members of the oomycete research
and wider plant-microbe interaction community, particularly
colleagues from other countries with whom regular
meetings are not always possible. My personal subscription
to MPMI online has been an invaluable resource,
allowing me to easily keep up-to-date with recent
developments within this field."
"It has been gratifying to see how IS-MPMI has developed from an
informal gathering of scientists interested in a common subject to the
vibrant organization it is today, with its own highly regarded and
successful official monthly publication. In large part, the resounding
success of this organization reflects the phenomenal growth of the field
of molecular plant-microbe interactions."

"I joined IS-MPMI in November 1999, when I started
my career as a Ph.D. student. I believe that the
IS-MPMI Congress is an excellent opportunity to meet and
discuss with other research fellows of the international
plant-microbe interactions community. The IS-MPMI
Reporter and the MPMI journal serve as a communication
mechanism to easily keep up-to-date with the exciting
research opportunities in our field and to show the
progress in this area. I strongly encourage new graduate students,
postdoctoral, and other research scientists who are not
members to join IS-MPMI and take advantage of a very
energetic group of people!"
"I have been a member of IS-MPMI from its inception and
have tried to attend most of the biennial meetings organized
by the Society. I find that, even though the members
have diverse backgrounds, they share a common interest,
and I find the opportunity to interact with them very stimulating
and rewarding. These meetings have become
important in remaining connected to the field.
The journal published by IS-MPMI has grown in stature
over the years, and I am delighted to have had the opportunity
to publish our work in it. I think IS-MPMI has a
bright future."
"Although
I have been a member of several plant science societies over the years, my
true home is IS-MPMI. I keep renewing my membership because IS-MPMI offers
the right mix of colleagues, exciting science, and attractive locations for
biennial congress"
"Membership
allows me to keep in touch with important information in my research area,
including online access to the MPMI Journal. This journal is one of
the most relevant journals for my work."
"It was during my graduate school years that I learned
about IS-MPMI, and I have been a member ever since.
The specialized subject area of the society is what keeps
me as a member. When I need to know the most current
research advances in plant-microbe interactions, I know
that, by visiting the IS-MPMI website, I can get updates
that impact my research. Additionally, the international
nature of the society enriches my development as
a scientist by sponsoring interactions with scientists
around the world to learn about their research."
"Because of my training in microbial genetics and biochemistry,
I anticipated the foundation of an organization
dealing with molecular plant-pathogen interactions. Thus,
I joined the IS-MPMI upon its inception and have attended meetings. Integration of the symbiosis group
into this Society opened a new avenue of research for
understanding intricate molecular interactions between
microbes and host plants. In retirement, I read the MPMI
journal with great interest, although some papers are
difficult to follow because of my lack of familiarity with
newer technologies. This is a positive sign, though,
because the discipline of plant pathology is moving
forward at a rapid pace, and I am fully confident this
journal will enjoy its continued outstanding international
reputation."
"As a member of IS-MPMI, I have appreciated receiving the
IS-MPMI-Reporter. It has helped keep me informed about
scientific meetings, the career paths of other society members,
and international science initiatives. Membership has
also provided online access to MPMI, since our institution
does not have a library subscription to this journal. I consider
access to MPMI absolutely essential for my research!"
