APS updates website

The American Phytopathological Society’s (APS) website, www.apsnet.org, has been completely re-imagined and rebuilt, and will now include a daily news feed, an online bookstore, a webcast section, thousands of searchable abstracts, historical archives and more.

The new site went live Aug. 16. Now that the main infrastructure is in place, watch for additional features in the coming year, such as collaboration tools, opportunities for threaded discussion areas and the ability to upload, share and retrieve content, fostering collaboration and communication among plant pathologists worldwide and the public, according to APS.

APS is a nonprofit, professional scientific organization. The research of the organization’s 5,000 worldwide members advances the understanding of the science of plant pathology and its application to plant health.
