Dear colleagues,
it has been a while since the last visual group meeting in last summer.
I’m sure that you have many exciting new results to share. To be able to
organize a *spring online meeting of our IUFRO group* on /Evolution and
Adaptation of Fagaceae and Nothofagaceae/, mid-May, *we are looking for
a date* that suits most members of the group. Due to the many bank
holidays in May, and to avoid overlap with the IUFRO conference in
June, the choice is be limited to dates between the 27^th and the 31^th
of May.
We propose to do a similar meeting as before, with either pre-recorded
20min talks to watch before the meeting, or 5min live talks (mainly for
students). The pre-recorded talks will give a short 5 min introduction
during the actual meeting, before time for questions and discussion.
We welcome very much presentations of recent publications, by PhD
students, Post-docs or senior scientists. Especially, if you have any
PhD students in your lab with a topic close to our group, please
motivate him or her to either record a 20min talk, or to do a live 3-5
minutes talk about one experiment of their PhD.
Also, please contact me directly if you have new scientists in your
group to add to the mailing list.
In the following date survey you can pick your favourite dates as well
as indicate if you would like to introduce a pre-recorded 20min talk or
do a 3-5min presentation.
If possible, also leave a comment with a preliminary title of your talk
(or just some keywords about the species concerned, and your scientific
discipline) and your contact email address.

*Please respond to this survey rapidly, at latest before the 3rd of April. *

**As for the timing, we propose again a 2 hours meeting: 12:00-14:00
GMT/UTC, so early in the day for Americans (5-7 San Francisco, 7-9
Chicago, 9-11 Argentina), early afternoon for people in Europe (14-16
Paris CEST) and late in the day for scientists in Asia (Tokyo 21-23).
You will be able to watch the 20min talks one week before the meeting on
Youtube, which also means that the recorded talks should be available
one week before the chosen meeting date (actually sent to me by the 15th
of May).
We hope to see you all there, virtually best regards
Oliver Brendel, Chuck Cannon & Keiko Kitamura
