Hello

I am a faculty member at Columbia University, and this summer, along 
with my colleague Jacquelyn Gill at U Maine, we will be running a 
workshop on best practices to avoid sexual harassment and assault in the 
field.  A recent study by Clancy et al. 
(http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0102172) 
showed that ~60% of participants were sexually harassed, and ~20% of 
participants were sexually assaulted during field work. This is 
intolerable and we, as a community, must do better.

I'm writing you today because we would like to extend an invitation to 
any members from the LTER network to attend our workshop at the upcoming 
ESA meeting on Tuesday August 11th from 11:30-1:15.  We would love to 
hear from people running the stations about what services they have for 
visitors and frankly, what constraints they face running stations in 
remote areas, so that as a community we can identify things we are doing 
well and things we can improve.

I am not really sure who the best person to send this to, so if you 
could help point me in the right direction I would be very thankful.

Cheers
Josh
