[Anthony Atkinson]

Dear Colleagues,

The annual meeting of the Society for Affective Science (SAS) will be held in an all-virtual format between March 30 - April 2, 2022. 
 
On behalf of the SAS membership and outreach committee, we encourage you and your trainees to attend. SAS is an excellent venue for learning about what’s new in affective science and presenting research. The interdisciplinary nature of the program is uniquely beneficial.

Below are exciting highlights of the upcoming meeting and opportunities for you and your trainees to submit abstracts for a virtual presentation. We invite submissions of your research and ideas.
 
I hope you will join us at the 2022 SAS virtual meeting!
 
All the best,

Tony
