Recap of meeting from (02/11/08)

Hey guys, here is a rundown of what we talked about on Monday. First of all, the trips to Port Aransas have been scaled back from 3 to 2. The first trip will of course be this weekend...details will be listed at the end of this post. We will no longer be trying to get research credit unless you still want it (in that case, talk to Ken Dunton personally). Also, we do not have to make a poster for undergrad research anymore which helps tremendously. Now we are just going down this weekend and once in April to get later results from the marsh. This way it will be less stressful. Second, we will be contacting other conservation orgs. in Austin to see if there is any collaborative work we can do with them. I will probably call them next week. We will be moving the canoe cleanup to a later date when the weather and the staff are more consistent...details to follow. I also mentioned trying to get Bill form Ocean Conservancy up here to talk to us during one of our meetings...I will call this week. All other events I will list below in a more orderly fashion.

1.) Feb. 16-17: Trip to Port Aransas. Everyone should meet on campus at the bus circle (San Jacinto and fountain) at 7:00am. Please try to be on time, we are under pretty strict time requirements. Staci, feel free to call me at 6:30am to make sure I am up :). Please bring overnight stuff, blankets and some $$ for food/drinks. Rental car and lodging are paid for. We will stop on the way to grab some breakfast. My phone number is (408) 644-6702 if there are any problems or questions...call me.

2.) Hot Science, Cool Talks presents "Our Energy Future" This lecture is put on by ESI and will begin at 7pm. on Fri. Feb. 22nd. See website for details. (You don't have to go to this, just letting you guys now).

3.) Job opening: San Francisco Bay Area: Studying zooplankton and marine mammal/bird interactions...sweet job. See link.

4.) Recyclemania: From now until April 5th, UT is competing in Recyclemania, so recycle everything you can!

Ok, I think that's it. Call me or email with questions. Peace out!
