University of Idaho
Visit the University of Idaho, located in the Palouse! Home of the highest yielding wheat acreage in the world and also the lentil capital of the world. The 1500-acre campus is located on the western side of Moscow, Idaho, two miles from the Washington state line and seven miles from Washington State University. Palouse agriculture is largely defined by dryland/rainfed small grains production, and some canola acreage. Summers are a very pleasant time in Moscow with warm days, cool nights, and less traffic and waiting since half of the town (the students) is largely absent. The daily highs are usually in the mid-70s (°F) and the lows are in the mid-40’s.
The meeting will be held on June 5–6, 2025, at the University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho. See the NIMMS Meeting Authorization.

I would like to invite people to join me on a jet boat tour of the Snake River Wednesday, June 4th. This starts at 10 am, returns at 4pm, and will cost $196 per person. [TIMES UPDATED MAY 5.] It is a beautiful trip through Idaho’s gorgeous Hells Canyon, and a bit of wild ride (watch their video below to see what I mean). Since it is an extra-curricular activity, you each need to make your reservations directly with the company, Snake River Adventures.
We will also hold an evening dinner Wednesday, June 4th, at Bill Price’s house in Deary, Idaho.

Moscow Taxi provides transportation to all airports (Lewiston and Spokane requires minimum 24 hours advance notice). The costs are for a one-way trip:
There are also ride share options (Lyft, Uber).
The Wheatland Express offers some options for transportation to the Spokane Airport for $59 each way. It is unclear at this time what their June schedule looks like.
The Lewiston airport offers ground transportation to Moscow for $40 (more information here).
Moscow is a small, largely pedestrian-friendly, walkable town. You may not need a car at all once you reach your hotel. It is also very safe; the greatest danger at night is running into one of the town skunks.
