<p class="MsoNormal">Dear HBEF Graduate Students and Post-docs, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Harvard Forest is hosting a graduate student and post-doc gathering on
<b>Saturday,</b> <b>November 14 at Harvard Forest </b>in Petersham, MA (about 2.5 hours from Hubbard Brook). They have graciously extended the invitation to students and post-docs at both Hubbard Brook and Plum Island LTERs. This is a great opportunity to
explore another LTER site, meet and network with students working at other sites in our region, and to learn from each other!<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The basic itinerary will be informal presentations from each attendee, lunch (catered by Harvard Forest), and a hike. There is also the option to stay overnight in one of the Harvard Forest dorms (no charge). So far there are half a dozen
Harvard Forest attendees planning to come, but no one will be staying overnight.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to the Harvard Forest LTER grad student rep, Lauren Alteio (<a href="mailto:lalteio@umass.edu"><span style="color:windowtext">lalteio@umass.edu</span></a>) by
<b>October 30,</b> with any dietary restrictions we should know about.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope you are able to make it!<o:p></o:p></p>
