Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to spread the word about a free upcoming online course on Ecological Niche Modeling organized by Town Peterson starting in January!  Below is a list of the topics and instructors that will be included. If you'd like to participate, please sign up using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeahl-XdTv2Q40dyfRVlXZG1iFUqLvYML1uGpjS1MmDTAqvZA/viewform<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fforms%2Fd%2Fe%2F1FAIpQLSeahl-XdTv2Q40dyfRVlXZG1iFUqLvYML1uGpjS1MmDTAqvZA%2Fviewform&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cabb25b4e64e94d9be36b08d76da3e4e3%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C637098422997884294&sdata=2NvKZp1YYrlceRfBRd09qCdATPNJQ05QAb4YaBR4zgo%3D&reserved=0
