<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you’ve enjoyed the summer and wish you the best in
the start of a new semester. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the Luquillo LTER graduate student representative, I’ve
been tasked during the past group meeting to inquire about professional
development opportunities you would like to be exposed to as part of the
experience of conducting research in Luquillo. Specifically, we have discussed
the possibility of developing a graduate student-focused webinar (virtual
seminars), where speakers could range from experts in relevant topics through
advanced undergraduates conducting research at our site. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose of this email is to ask you what specific topics
you would like to be discussed in these webinars, which could include specific
statistical methods, outreach and communication, or any other
cross-disciplinary topics/skills that would be relevant to our group. Once we
have a better sense of which topics have most support, we will join forces with
the PIs to find potential speakers that address our interests. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Again, the goal of this effort is to provide new
opportunities for the professional development of Luquillo LTER graduate
students, so please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any other ideas
that we could develop and propose to the PI’s. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Saludos,<span></span></p>
