<p class="MsoNormal">Topic: Planning for 2018 ASM<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Connection: <span style="color:black"><a href="https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/8058932071">https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/8058932071</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Just a friendly reminder about our monthly Virtual Water Cooler (VWC) session this Monday, December 11<sup>th</sup> at 12 pm PST/3 pm EST. There is no formal presentation for this VWC. The idea is to brainstorm and discuss our one-day
IM meeting. What are things/sessions/activities that people found/find useful or not (i.e. lightning talks versus site bytes; breakout groups; formal or informal updates from NCO, EDI, Working Groups, etc.). Additionally, we will begin to solicit working
sessions for the ASM and we can discuss topics and how to include more scientists.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For preparation, please think about what are the things that you would like out of our one-day meeting. Are there topics that you would like us to address? Is there some product that we should be striving towards? Please spend some time
thinking ahead of time and bring your ideas. If you are not able to attend, you may share your ideas with IM-Exec via email.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See you around the water cooler!<o:p></o:p></p>
