[Ocees] Ecolunch

[Kuchta, Shawn]

Howdy graduate students!

I hope everyone had a splendid summer full of research and rejuvenation!  With the fall semester impending, it’s time to organize Ecolunch. Every MS student has to give at least one EcoLunch, and every PhD student has to give three of them.  It is better to space them out over time, of course.

As a special note: I encourage talks on works in progress. I understand the temptation to focus on completed projects, but that is what a thesis defense is for. Talks on ideas or new research are great because they provide an opportunity for feedback while there is still time for feedback to be helpful. It also is useful for developing and clarifying ideas, and even results in figures that can be recycled for upcoming grant proposals. We’re all friends, and we’re here to help, and it’s a small group, so don’t be shy to talk about upcoming or ongoing work.

Here are the available times:

25-Aug — OCEES organization meeting for faculty (graduate students skip this).
1-Sep
8-Sep
15-Sep
22-Sep
29-Sep
6-Oct
13-Oct
20-Oct
27-Oct — Raquel Marchon-Rivadeneira
3-Nov
10-Nov
17-Nov
24-Nov — Thanksgiving.  Enjoy!
1-Dec

When you contact me, please pick a specific date and also provide 1-2 alternatives. Later slots tend to fill first. Please consider signing up for an early date. Beer will taste better the rest of the semester after your early talk.  Give a talk late, and you have months to stress about it.  =-)

Sincerely,
Shawn Kuchta

PS: Ecolunch:  BIOS 7000 “Ecology Colloquium”.  Course #: 1639.  Sign up for 2 credits if you are giving a talk, and 1 credit if you are not.

PPS: This is *not* limited to BIOS, and I’d really LOVE to get more seminars from students in Plant Biology, Geology, Philosophy, History, and any other department with ties to OCEES. Don’t be shy!!!

PPPS: Faculty and others are also welcome to give seminars, of course.
