Here’s a friendly reminder to please RSVP for the upcoming April 11th COS meeting at Hubbard Brook if you haven’t already and you plan to attend:
You’re all invited to attend a special joint-meeting of students, postdocs, and investigators from both Hubbard Brook and Harvard Forest on Wednesday,
April 11th from 10am-4pm at the Cary Institute in Millbrook, NY.
On behalf of the organizing committee (Sarah Garlick, John Besley, Emily Cloyd, Kathy Fallon Lambert, and Tiffany Lohwater), please find attached the agenda for meeting.
The theme is “Putting Public Engagement with Science into Practice at Hubbard Brook and Harvard Forest” with the goals of promoting cross-site communication and collaboration for research and engagement, developing high-impact engaged science projects through
the PES@LTERs initiative, and discussing evidence-based strategies for new and ongoing research at both sites.
Please keep lunches and breaks free from organized work sessions so that all participants can mingle and interact with one another. If
you plan to have a small-group or project meeting prior to or after the COS meeting, please contact Gary Lovett ASAP to ensure that meeting space is available. Space is limited at the Cary.
Please note that there will be limited availability of housing at the Cary Institute. To reserve a room, use the Cary housing request form at: http://www.caryintranet.org/content/housing-request-form ,
listing Gary Lovett as your host. You will receive a response as to whether or not a room is available. If a Cary room is not available, the closest motel is the Cottonwood (http://www.cottonwoodmotel.com ).
If you have questions about housing, contact Cassandra Harrison at
harrisonc@caryinstitute.org.
We have limited funds through an NSF award to support participant travel for this meeting. Please email travel coordinator Zach Ralph to inquire about
available funds and to submit your expenses (zralph@hubbardbrookfoundation.org).
We look forward to seeing you
next week!
