All Scientist Meeting
The meeting will be held at the Kellogg Biological Station, Hickory Corners, MI from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 16th, preceded by a special roundtable discussion Thursday evening (March 15) for grads and postdocs.
As in prior years, the aim of this meeting is to maximize exposure of participants to the breadth of research underway at the site, and to provide an opportunity to develop collaborations. Some highlights from the agenda include:
1. Graduate student and postdoc roundtable discussion with
senior scientists on Thursday evening, March 15th from
7:30 to 9:00 p.m. – refreshments provided
2. Project overview and status
3. Keynote address by Pamela Matson, Stanford University
4. Working group discussions
5. Poster session: on-going and planned research
6. And plenty of time to meet others working on LTER
research!
Posters
All participants are encouraged to submit posters that highlight ongoing or planned research. Please submit poster titles as part of your online registration. Poster boards are 4′ × 8′; it would be best if individual posters were 4’ wide but widths to 8’ can be accommodated. Prior to the meeting, abstracts and electronic copies of posters should be e-mailed (in PDF format) to Justin Kunkle, KBS LTER Science Coordinator, kunkleju@msu.edu.
Registration, Transportation, Meals and Accommodations
Please register for the meeting. All meals and overnight accommodations as requested will be provided by the project. Transportation will be provided from campus via car pooling for MSU investigators (maps and directions); please indicate if you need a ride when you register online. If out-of-state travel support is needed or you need to make changes to your registration, please contact Justin Kunkle, kunkleju@msu.edu.
