HUBBARD BROOK ECOSYSTEM STUDY 52^nd ANNUAL COOPERATORS' MEETING

Greetings to the Hubbard Brook Community,

It is that time of year to begin preparations for the 52^nd Annual Meeting of the Hubbard Brook Cooperators.  The Annual Hubbard Brook Cooperators' Meeting for 2015 will be held on July 8 and 9.

Please register on-line at http://hubbardbrook.org/events/coop_meetings/register/index.html

We would appreciate if you could please forward this message to your Field Technicians and Students who are not likely on the annual mailing list. We ask that each person register INDIVIDUALLY for the meeting, even if a PI is paying the registration fee for their technicians and students.

Deadlines

If you plan to give a presentation, please register with your talk information no later than Wednesday, June 17.

If you plan to attend the meetings and not present, you can register until Monday, June 29.

Presentation guidelines
The annual meeting of the cooperators of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study provides an important opportunity for communication, exchange of ideas and research plans, along with renewal of friendships. This meeting also provides a perspective on the overall Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study. The format for this year's meeting will be slightly different in that time will be allocated for discussion after each session. To make time for these discussion periods, we are accepting talks of either 5 minutes (3 min presentation; 2 min questions) or 10 minutes (8 min presentation; 2 min questions).

In the interest of sharing information regarding ongoing research at Hubbard Brook, presentations on new research which have not yet produced any data are welcome but should in most cases opt for the 5 minute slot. Please be aware that because we avoid concurrent sessions and limit the duration of the meeting, it may be impossible to accommodate all interested speakers. Hence, the SCC discourages presentations that are based on studies being done at other places with no clearly-stated relationship to the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study.

Registration information
Your registration fee will cover refreshments at coffee break, two lunches, dinner, refreshments and entertainment at the barn dance and social on July 8. If you are interested in attending this year's meeting, please complete the online registration and arrange payment either by Pay-Pal (preferred) or by check mailed to the address below. ($75 standard; $50 student). If you opt to pay by check, your check needs to be received prior to the meeting. 

Please have each student and technician register separately, so that we can get an accurate head count and dietary preferences for meals. Researchers can still pay for themselves and students in one lump sum, but be sure to indicate the names of the individuals you are paying for.
