Dear Colleagues,

I am excited to share that Early Bird Registration is open for the Society for Affective Science (SAS) annual meeting, which will be held in an all-virtual format between March 30 - April 2, 2022. 

On behalf of the SAS membership and outreach committee, I encourage you and your trainees to attend. SAS is an excellent venue for presenting research, and the interdisciplinary nature of the program is uniquely beneficial.

Below, I outline highlights and featured speakers for the upcoming meeting. Early bird registration rates are available through February 14, 2022. Also as noted below, attendees who register by the early bird deadline will be able to sign up to participate in Speed Networking Events. In addition to the main conference, registration is currently open for the SAS Preconferences.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you will join us at the 2022 SAS virtual meeting!

All the best,

Anthony Atkinson
