Hello colleagues,
Please circulate as you see fit the attached advertisement for two
postdoctoral positions available immediately at the Ohio State
University to work on the "omics" of ash resistance to the emerald
ash borer.
Some of you may have seen a similar advertisement a couple of months
ago for a postdoctoral opening for someone to work on pine. That
position is separate and in addition to the two advertised here.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this matter. I
apologize in advance for any duplication of messages coming through
both forent and forpath.
Thank you!
Enrico

Dear Forest Pathology and Forest Entomology Friends
Following the idea to do this during the course of the APS Forest Pathology
field trip last year, a web-based photo album of forest pathologists (and
some forest entomologists) has now been completed. It is in every way a
work in progress but already includes some amazing (some amusing)
photographs. Hopefully these will be enjoyed by our community and certainly
I have already had fun using some of the images in lectures. There is an
"introductory statement" that comes together with the album, giving some
history and also how you might contribute to making this a more
comprehensive and useful resource. The URL is
http://www.fabinet.up.ac.za/fpepg.
Your comments and contributions would be appreciated. Enjoy!!
Best wishes
Mike Wingfield

Dear Mailing List Members:
As at past IUFRO World Congresses, there will be the opportunity to honour
special scientific performances and achievements with selected IUFRO Awards
in the Seoul Congress in 2010.
If you know scientists doing outstanding forest research, nominate them for
one of the IUFRO Awards and give them the opportunity to travel to and
participate in the Congress as well as the chance to present their research
to the Congress participants.
Choose among the Scientific Achievement Award (SAA), Outstanding Doctoral
Research Award (ODRA) and the IUFRO Student Award (ISA) and make your
nomination soon. Bear in mind that you can only nominate candidates from
IUFRO Member Organizations, - no self-nominations are accepted - and that
the deadline for submission is 31 July 2009.
Find more information and nomination forms on our website
http://www.iufro.org/discover/awards/ and send your nominations to the Chair
of the IUFRO Honours & Awards Committee (Dr. Su See Lee, leess(a)frim.gov.my)
with copy to the IUFRO Executive Director (Dr. Peter Mayer,
office(a)iufro.org)
Dr. Su See Lee
Chair of the IUFRO H&A Committee
============================
IUFRO AWARDS at the IUFRO World Congress 2010
Scientific Achievement Award (SAA)
Up to 10 awards to recognize distinguished individual scientific
achievements within the fields of research covered by IUFRO. Criteria for
judgment will be dissemination of results, implementation of knowledge,
methods or techniques in practical forestry and skilled research management
(success in publications, meetings, funding, etc. in a larger group than the
individual) and involvement in IUFRO activities.
Outstanding Doctoral Research Award (ODRA)
One award per IUFRO Division to recognize outstanding individual scientific
achievements among young Doctoral researchers and to encourage further work
within the fields of research covered by the Union.
IUFRO Student Award (ISA)
One award per IUFRO Division to recognise outstanding individual
achievements in forest science made by Masters degree students (or
equivalent), and to encourage their further work within the fields of
research covered by the Union. Nominations can be made through IUFRO member
organizations or officeholders and through members of the International
Forestry Students Association (IFSA).
Furthermore, the Congress will also offer
Best Poster Award (BPA)
To encourage public dissemination of high quality research and to recognize
distinguished poster presentations by young scientists during the IUFRO
World Congress.
and IUFRO World Congress Host Scientific Award
Honors a truly outstanding scientist from the Congress host
country/countries who has elevated the profile of forest science and
research accomplishments.

Dear Dr Gomez
I am the curator of the National Forestry Mycological Herbarium at Scion,
the New Zealand Forest Research Institute. Our herbarium acronym is
NZFRI-M.
I would like to borrow a specimen from the mycological herbarium at the
University of Murcia. The information for the botanical herbarium is on the
web - but I could not find a reference to the myco;logical herbarium.
Would you be able to forward this message to the right person? The
specimen that I seek is JL 7045.
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely
