Subject: BioBlast 2026 update!
From: Emily M Flora



I hope everyone is having a good summer! More importantly, I hope everyone is ready to attend BioBlast 2026!!!

 

We should have registration coming up soon. We’ve got some very cool speakers with topics ranging from Phytoremediation to Forest Bathing so there should be classes that everyone will find interesting.

 

If you have never attended BioBlast and have any questions, please feel free to ask me. It is a lot of fun and the location (Winthrop Rockefeller Institute at Petit Jean) is beautiful! Food will be provided starting with dinner on Friday night and will continue until Sunday morning. There is also a secret sing-along if you know who to ask.

 

If you know you are going to attend BioBlast and would like to stay at the facility then please call to reserve your room. They have rooms just like a regular hotel and other rooms that are more like a motel. Just be sure to ask about room options when you call. Their information is below.

I’m excited to see familiar faces and hopefully some new ones this year!
