        <p class="MsoNormal">Registration is now open for the 2016
          Cooperators’ Annual Meeting, to be held at Hubbard Brook on
          July 13-14. Meeting information and the on-line registration
          form are accessible from the main page of the Hubbard Brook
          website, or directly at: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Deadline for registration is June 1
              for presentations</u></b> and June 29 to attend the
          meeting without making a presentation. We expect to post the
          presentation schedule a month before the meeting. So the
          deadline for registering a presentation is quite firm.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">Last year we offered the option of 5 and 10
          minute time slots (3 or 8 minute presentation with 2 minutes
          for questions). This option was quite popular and is available
          again this year. Presentations in 5 or 10 minute slots are for
          in-progress (data to report) or completed studies only. Please
          be aware that because we avoid concurrent sessions and limit
          the duration of the meeting, it may be impossible to
          accommodate all interested speakers. Hence, the SCC
          discourages presentations that are based on studies being done
          at other places with no clearly-stated relationship to the
          Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study.
          <o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal">New this year, we are debuting a third
          presentation option for 2 minute, 1 slide only, “lightning”
          talks. Lightning talks may highlight research results and/or
          contain announcements. Presentations on proposals or new
          research (no results yet) will only be accepted as lightning
          talks. We hope these presentation options will allow us to
          accommodate all interested speakers and also have more time
          for discussion and informal networking.
