    Hello everyone,<br>
    <div class="moz-forward-container"> <br>
      I invite you to join us on <b>11-noon </b>Friday <b>Feb 24 </b>in
      the <b>MSRB auditorium</b> for the fourth in a series of research
      presentations aimed at assisting in planning for SBC LTER's
      renewal proposal.  We have organized working groups around
      particular research themes relevant to our project.  Each working
      group will present a synthesis of SBC activities pertaining to
      their theme and lead a discussion on promising areas for future
      research. <br>
      <br>
      Tomorrow's presentation led by me will focus on kelp forest
      ecology  (the schedule for all the presentations is shown below). 
      I hope you can join us. <br>
