<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Peter!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for the update, and for all your effort (and Julie’s, too!) in making this special issue idea a reality.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On our call today, we discussed the following, which includes some questions for you highlighted in bold:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">ESA will be releasing the official press release (draft attached) when the special issue is published, which we assume may be in the next few weeks?
<b>Please keep us posted when the proofs go in!</b><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Like the press release, we assume The Conversation piece (it’s fantastic that you’re doing this!) will speak to the entire special issue from an LTER-wide perspective, but
<b>if there will be a particular focus on specific stories or sites, could you let us know?</b> This will help our committee better support story-pitching at the site level, and will also help us better amplify the Conversation piece when it comes out!<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">We suspect that the stories that will get the most traction in the news media are those that link to timely current events in Sept/Oct – like wildfire, possibly hurricanes if the season
heats up, and seasonal (especially unseasaonable) change. If possible, we’d like to organize one or two site/story-specific pitches that connect to the manuscripts, focusing on Science Friday and a few other high-impact outlets (especially radio). This would
require our getting some buy-in from the PI(s) whose research is represented. <b>
Are there particular stories from the special issue that stick out to you and/or Julie as potential candidates for a current-events focus?</b><o:p></o:p></li></ul>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. All of the Ecosphere papers are accepted and I will be uploading the final figures for the final paper tomorrow. We will then be waiting for proofs. The journal is going to publish all the papers at once; and I think that Marty has
made a great start on a press release.<o:p></o:p></p>
