The first cohort is comprised of 21 students and runs through November 5.

 

The next Committee of Scientists meeting is scheduled to take place on Friday, October 16 from 10am - 2:30pm ET. The topic is "Proposing Research on Phosphorus for the LTER Renewal," led by Ruth Yanai and Melany Fisk. The meeting will be held online via Zoom.
