New subject: Reminder : 2nd Virtual Meeting 2021

2 Nov 2021

      Dear colleagues,

as the June online meeting had been quite well received, the decision 
had been taken to do another meeting towards the end of the year of our 
IUFRO group on Evolution and adaptation of Fagaceae and Nothofagaceae.

We propose to do a similar meeting with pre-recorded 20min talks and 
then a short 5 min introduction to the talk before having time for 
questions and discussion.

We would like to see more PhD students present their work. To motivate 
them, we propose that they also can do a live 180 seconds talk (a 
competition that is running in many countries, check it out at 
_https://threeminutethesis.uq.edu.au 
<https://threeminutethesis.uq.edu.au/>_).

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 180 seconds 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).

As for the timing, we propose again a 2 hours meeting, but due to the 
changes with the winter time change, we will use an inverted set-up, 
which covers 2 dates :

21:00-23:00 GMT/UTC, early afternoon for for Americans (13-15 San 
Francisco, 15-17 Chicago, 17-19 Buenos Aires), late  in the day/night 
for people in Europe (22-24 Paris CET) and so early the next day folks 
in Asia (Shanghai 5-7 ;Tokyo 6-8). So for example the meeting would be 
the 22 November for Americans and Europeans and the 23 November for Asians.

You will be able to watch the 20min talks one week before the meeting on 
either Youtube or Youku, which also means that the recorded talks should 
be available one week before the chosen meeting date.

We will also present results from the _*membership survey*_ that we 
shared before the June meeting. A total of 50 people have responded 
(whereas the mailing list is >140 people). We ask a few basic questions:

  *

    what are your research interests?

  *

    do you plan on participating in upcoming meetings in 2022?

  *

    how could the working group best engage you?

It would be great if we could have a more complete view of your IUFRO 
group. The survey is still open and should take you less than ten 
minutes to complete.  Your participation would greatly help us make more 
effective and engaging plans for future activities.

We hope to see you all there, virtually

best regards
