Remember the DEE business meeting is open to ALL members, student and non-student. It is where you tell your officers what is right and what is wrong both with DEE and with SICB as a whole. For example, it was clear from comments at the last business meeting that members wanted to receive their newsletter both as text pasted into an email message as well as on the SICB homepage. As a result we will be sending this to you as email. It is an excellent way to support DEE and SICB, looks wonderful on the community service portion of your annual evaluation form, and helps students understand what worked and what did not in their presentation.
Judges typically are responsible for three to five talks.
Thank you in advance. Longtime researcher Ruth Turner passed away as did two much younger colleagues, Gary Polis and Tom Frost. All will be missed. There was a wonderful symposium entitled 'Linking Communities Across Ecosystem Boundaries' in his honor at the Ecological Society Meetings at Snowbird in August.
