The workshop this year is "Asking the Right Questions: Practical Applications of One Paleopathology" and will be led by Elizabeth Uhl, Nicole L. Gottdenker, Håkan H. Jones, and Jane E. Buikstra.

Let's Do Lunch will be on Tuesday March 17, 2026 from 12:15 - 1:45 pm at Steuben's (523 E 17th Avenue, Denver, CO). The restaurant is fully accessible and is a 15 minute walk from the conference venue. The menu has vegetarian options and attendees who wish to have a vegan or gluten-free meal can request this upon arrival. Let's Do Lunch pairs students with senior members for lunch, providing students with an opportunity to connect with a paleopathologist and ask questions relevant to their research and professional development. This program facilitates meaningful discussions with professionals whom students might not otherwise meet during the meeting. Senior members sponsor student participants by covering their lunch expenses. Your participation is vital - please indicate on the registration form how you are participating, and mentors can pay for their cost along with that of their mentee(s) along with their conference registration fees.

Book donations are needed for the PPA Student Prizes, which are generously supported by our members. Please consider bringing any of your books to the conference to donate. If you are interested, please email lsacks@uic.edu to confirm your donation.

The PPA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization
