<div>Dear Friends of Hubbard Brook:</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">I don't know how many people I have
heard say that the cooperators' meeting is one of their favorite
events all year. So it gives me great pleasure to announce that
registration is now open for the 2017 Annual Cooperators’
Meeting, to be held at Hubbard Brook on July 12-13. Meeting
information and the on-line registration form are accessible
from the main page of the Hubbard Brook website, or directly at:

<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Deadline for registration is <b>June
2 for presentations</b> and June 30 to attend the meeting
without making a presentation. We expect to post the
presentation schedule a month before the meeting. So
<u>the deadline for registering a presentation is quite firm</u>.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">We will continue to offer the options
of 5 and 10 minute time slots (3 or 8 minute presentation with 2
minutes for questions). 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.</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Back by popular demand, we are again
offering a third presentation option for 2 minute, 1 slide only,
pico or “lightning” talks. Pico talks may highlight a research
result or contain announcements. Announcements of proposals or
new research (no results yet) will only be accepted as pico
talks. But please note a pico talk is not intended for lightning
delivery of a research project. Pico talks are strictly limited
to one slide with no clicks or animation to pack in more
content. For those interested in suggestions for a successful
pico talk (or if you'd like to push the concept to the limit and
consider a Femto talk) see the reaction to an EGU pico session
