Hello from IUFRO Division 4!
This is our second issue of the Division 4 newsletter and, as you will see, we have more information than in the inaugural issue. Thanks to everyone who provided material, and please keep sending Kristy (kristyak(a)utk.edu<mailto:kristyak@utk.edu>) information, photos, scholarships and job opportunities, and links related to Division 4. This is a great opportunity to keep our members, as well as all of IUFRO, informed of our activities and accomplishments.
I want to bring your attention to a few matters that we will address in the coming months. Bianca Eskelson (Division 4 Deputy Coordinator) and I participated in the virtual IUFRO Enlarged Board meeting in September, during which these issues were raised. We then discussed these further with the Division 4 Research Group leaders in October.
First, we are continuing to discuss ways in which we can include opportunities for virtual participation in IUFRO conferences and meetings in the future. Obviously, the pandemic has necessitated the move to virtual meetings, but including such opportunities in the future is likely to increase participation and allow many more scientists to become involved in IUFRO activities. I participated in the virtual 4.05.00 conference hosted by EURAC and the University of Padova earlier this month (more information below) and it was a great success. You will read more about this in the future, but please share any ideas you have about how we can best achieve this.
The second matter concerns plans for a Division-wide meeting in 2022. One possibility is the Regional IUFRO Conference in Moscow, which has been postponed until September 2022 due to the pandemic. Several divisions have expressed interest in holding their meetings as part of this conference, although plans are tentative at the moment. You will hear more about this next year as we work through alternatives.
The final issue concerns the IUFRO Strategy and Strategic Action Plan for 2020-2024. I'm sharing three PDFs (Strategy<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00120YeVCEDvnyhFRmCqjZGZSiWkfRaJyZ6Q77wHLzPHzWH…>, Strategic Action Plan<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00120YeVCEDvnyhFRmCqjZGZSiWkfRaJyZ6Q77wHLzPHzWH…>, Action Plan Matrix<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00120YeVCEDvnyhFRmCqjZGZSiWkfRaJyZ6Q77wHLzPHzWH…>) that describe the strategy for the next five years and provide a list of actions for Divisions, RGs, and WPs to achieve the goals of Research Excellence, Communication and Diversity, and Impact. I encourage you to review these documents and begin thinking of how we can move forward to meet these goals and objectives. I will convene a meeting of all Division 4 officers in the next few months to discuss the actions we may want to emphasize within Division 4, and as always, I welcome any suggestions or ideas.
Please feel free to email me<mailto:dhodges2@utk.edu> or your unit officers if you have any questions or suggestions regarding the newsletter, future meetings, or any other topics related to IUFRO or Division 4.
Thank you,
Don Hodges

Coming soon: Staying on Top in Academia – A primer for (self-)mentoring young researchers in natural and life sciences
The pace of change in academia is ever-increasing, making it difficult for anyone to stay up to date with the right long-term strategy or the next step to take in obtaining a PhD. Academic mentoring has proved helpful to many young researchers, and mentoring programmes have been launched at many universities.
This book is written in a highly accessible style while restricting each chapter to the most essential information so that reading can be accommodated by a busy schedule. It is not limited to any particular university or geographic region, since the author has worked in a number of different countries and encountered many different academic cultures.
The first chapter of the book offers an introduction to academic mentoring and provides an overview of what academic mentoring entails. In the following chapters, important topics are discussed that may come up in mentoring conversations. These include scientific thinking, doctoral studies, behaviour and disappointments, scientific storytelling, teaching, scientific presentations, early career years, research cooperation, job applications and basic data management. The discussions in each of these chapters were designed with a view to provide food for thought and to invite self-reflection as well as continued discussions with peers and mentors.

WP4.02.01: Resource Data in the Tropics
WP4.02.01 has a new coordination team since January 2020 (Coordinator: Sheila Ward, Deputy Coordinator: Hans Juergen Boehner, Wan Rasidah Kadir, and Jenny Wong). We are reorienting this working party for the purposes of discovery, curation, and use of legacy tropical forest datasets. We are focusing on hardcopy datasets and older digital formats that are in danger of being lost.
These legacy datasets are invaluable for understanding how tropical forests change through time, including the cumulative impacts of land use and climate, and changes in patterns of biodiversity. The first step was to review datasets referred to in older meta databases (ATROFI-UK and TROPIS) to determine if they are still available and if they are in need of updated electronic curation. We have also reached out via electronic media and networks to find additional legacy tropical datasets. The next steps will be to develop an updated metadatabase regarding these datasets, develop policy on ownership and appropriate use with stakeholders, seek funding, and electronically curate such datasets.
We now have an e-list with IUFRO to discuss issues related to legacy tropic forest datasets<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00120YeVCEDvnyhFRmCqjZGZSiWkfRaJyZ6Q77wHLzPHzWH…>. For more information, please contact Sheila Ward at tropfordata(a)gmail.com<mailto:tropfordata@gmail.com>.

The focus of the Working Party will be on legacy tropical forest data sets: finding them, getting them and their metadata archived in an up-to-date digital format, and getting these data available for use, with appropriate protocols and credit to the sources of the data. We invite you to join our email list at <https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/> https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/ , where we discuss issues related to these datasets.
Please contact tropfordata(a)gmail.com with any questions or comments.
Regards,
Sheila Ward
Coordinator IUFRO 4.02.01
