The Palynology group held our 6th Joint Meeting with the Silicofossil group on 1^st July 2022, organised by Chloe Walker-Trivett, Phil Jardine, Savannah Worne, Martin Tetard and Matt Pound (local meeting host). This meeting was hybrid, with a small contingent of attendees gathering in person at Northumbria University, Newcastle, and the rest of our attendees joining the event over Zoom. This meant we were lucky to have participants from multiple different time zones and countries joining us, something that would not have been possible in the pre-COVID times of traditional in-person only conferences. We hope this made the event accessible to those without the budget, time, or means to travel. The variety and quality of talks was excellent, and we would like to thank everyone who participated and made the day a success. Particularly, we would like to thank our keynote speakers; Jen O’Keefe, Sam Slater, Kristen Beck, Volkan Özen, Fabienne Marret and Emma Hocking, all of whom delivered interesting and insightful talks. It was great to see a few faces in person, and the rest virtually, and we hope everyone enjoyed an excellent day of science!

The abstract book, with details of all the talks, can be found on the palynology group webpage.

The Micropalaeontological Society Silicofossil and Palynology Joint meeting will take place on the 30th of June to the 1st of July 2022 at Northumbria University, UK. Virtual attendance through Microsoft Teams will also be an option.

Abstracts on any aspect of palynology or silicofossil research are welcome. Presentations will be either full talks (12 minutes presenting, 3 minutes for questions), or lightening talks (4 minutes presenting, 1 minute for questions). Preference will be given to PhD and MSc students to enable them to present talks in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided on both days of the conference for in-person attendees. A social event on the evening of the 30th June is planned for in-person attendees, with further details to follow (cost likely to be between £20-35 pp).
