This week's EcoLunch will be only OCEES faculty, where we will discuss the future of OCEES in a strategic planning meeting. How does OCEES position itself to play a prominent role in promoting ecological and evolutionary studies among our faculty and students
in the future? I strongly encourage all faculty to attend; we really value your input. We will meet on Wednesday, at 11:50 in 159 Irvine Hall. <o:p></o:p></p>
