Dear Colleagues,
Happy 2018! We’re trying out something new this year: the Hubbard Brook Monthly, a regular newsletter sent out via this listserv to facilitate the sharing of information across the growing Hubbard Brook community.
In this first January 2018 issue, we have included the following sections: Recent Publications, Hubbard Brook in the News, Outreach and Education, Save the Date, and Announcements. Future months will also feature New or Proposed Research. If you have an item you'd like to see included in the next issue, please send it to us no later than January 26 using the following email address:
sciencelinks@hubbardbrookfoundation.org.
Thank you! We look forward to seeing many of you this week and hearing what you think.
Clara Chaisson, Sarah Garlick, and Maribeth Rubenstein
