Invitation to join the email list for IUFRO 4.02.01 Resource Data in the Tropics
by Brigitte Burger
Dear all:
We have formed a new coordination team for the IUFRO Working Party 4.02.01 on Resource Data in the Tropics. 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.
Regards,
Sheila Ward
Coordinator IUFRO 4.02.01

FW: email to post on forent and forpath
by Allison, Jeremy (NRCan/RNCan)
Please find below the details for a webinar series hosted by the new Working Party 7.03.16, "Behaviour and chemical ecology of forest insects". Each seminar includes an introductory talk by an invited seminar leader followed by two research talks and a final open discussion. The seminars occur every 2 weeks starting September 17 until November 12 and run from 13:30 until 15:00 UTC (this is 9:30 AM EST, 6:30 AM PST and 15:30 CEST). The seminar series is hosted through the FABI, University of Pretoria academic zoom account and will also stream to a YouTube channel we have created for the WP (this will allow us to post the webinars there and make them available for the community to view if they are unable to attend the webinar). The webinars are open to all but to join the webinar individuals must register online at the site provided in the flyer, registration triggers an auto response email that provides you with the link to access the seminars and allows us to track participation and limit the risk of unwelcome visitors.
Best wishes,
Jeremy, Andres and Sigrid
