<div>Greetings!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I hope your holidays were good! Now that the semester is nearly started, it is time to finalize EcoLunch. EcoLunch has a long history of holding our intellectual community together, and we ask that you consider participating in our shared endeavor.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As a special note: we encourage talks on works in progress, or even ideas. We’re all friends, we’re here to help, and it’s a small group, so don’t be shy to talk about upcoming or ongoing work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>EcoLunch will be in person. To be inclusive, we <i>may</i> have an online component, but the expectation is that graduate students will attend in person. In BIOS, every MS student has to give at least one EcoLunch, and every PhD student has to deliver
three.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For new members of our community: welcome! EcoLunch is held<b> every Wednesday from 11:50–12:40 in 159 Irvine Hall</b>. Come to every talk! You are welcome to bring your lunch, too.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We advertise the talks every week using the OCEES listserve. If you have not signed up for OCEES emails, you can do so here: <a href="http://listserv.ohio.edu/mailman/listinfo/ocees">http://listserv.ohio.edu/mailman/listinfo/ocees</a>. And here is the

<div>
<div>Please contact Shawn Kuchta with a specific date (or a ranking of dates that will work) and a title for your talk (<a href="mailto:kuchta@ohio.edu">kuchta@ohio.edu</a>). Later slots often fill first, so please consider signing up for an early date — the
sooner you give your talk, the sooner you don’t have to think about it (a good life lesson!). Also, please forward this email to any new people in your lab. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div>Shawn Kuchta</div>
