<H1>Welcome </H1>
<P>St. Cloud State University and the Science Museum of Minnesota are pleased to
be the host institutions for the 21st International Diatom Symposium (IDS). The
IDS is held biannually and returns to North America for the first time since
2002 and to the United States for the first time since 1990. The
first symposium was held in 1970 in Bremerhaven, Germany and has moved around
the world under the supervision of the International Society for Diatom
Research. The meeting attracts hundreds interested in all aspects of
diatom sciences. The meeting has a collegial atmosphere and provides
opportunity to network and socialize.</P>
