<p class="MsoNormal">OCEES hopes that everyone has had a productive summer. Clearly, many have been working diligently keeping research programs on track, applying for grants, and preparing to mentor students in the new context of COVID-19. As with many courses
and seminar series, Ecolunch BIOS 7000, will be occurring virtually and synchronously this semester, Wednesday’s at 11:50. We will be setting up a MS Teams course that will be the format throughout the entire semester. We will explore recording the Ecolunch
and archiving to our new webpage. In the meantime, here are some updates and events to put on your calendars<o:p></o:p></p>
