Dear working group colleagues,
summer holidays are over (at least here in the northern hemisphere),
a new university year has started.
During the last webinar, we had planned to do another webinar in
autumn 2023, however we would have to do it before the time
change to winter time (29th October in Europe, 5th November in the
US). After these dates, the time frame from US west coast to Japan
is even more stretched.
I'm not able to organise anything for the last week of October, so I
have set-up an Evento from the 6th to the 20th of October
(see below). However, we would need to keep in mind that this is not
far away, to I would need very rapid feedbacks on the titles
of possible talks, and speakers would need to prepare their videos
quite rapidly.
We propose to do a similar meeting with pre-recorded 20min talks so
that participants can watch the talks before the actual meeting and
then during the meeting, a short 5 min introduction to the talk,
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, 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.
As for the timing, we propose again a 2 hours meeting, with the
usual timing :
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)
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. As we do not have much time to
prepare, please also leave a comment with a preliminary title of
your talk (or just some keywords about the species concerned, and
your scientific discipline).

I will end this survey next Wednesday (13th September), if there are
sufficient talks and participants, we go ahead. Otherwise I propose
to wait for spring.
Also, please contact me directly if you have new scientists in your
group to add to the IUFRO mailing list.
By the way, this email has been sent using my personal list of email
addresses, I will send a second email via the IUFRO webmail list
(the subject will start with "reminder", the email body the same as
here). This email has to go through the IUFRO checking process, but
if you have not gotten the test email by Friday, you should check
with your IT services. All other people can just ignore the second
email. And send me an email, so that I can always copy you into all
IUFRO emails (I will keep a separate list).
I hope to see you all virtually in October
all the best
Oliver
