Howdy graduate students!
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I hope everyone had a splendid summer full of research and rejuvenation! With the fall semester impending, it’s time to organize Ecolunch. Every MS student has to give at least one EcoLunch, and every PhD student has to give three of them. It
is better to space them out over time, of course. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As a special note: <b class="">I encourage talks on works in progress.</b> I understand the temptation to focus on completed projects, but that is what a thesis defense is for. Talks on ideas or new research are great because they provide an opportunity
for feedback while there is still time for feedback to be helpful. It also is useful for developing and clarifying ideas, and even results in figures that can be recycled for upcoming grant proposals. We’re all friends, and we’re here to help, and it’s a small
group, so don’t be shy to talk about upcoming or ongoing work.</div>

<div class="">When you contact me, please pick a specific date and also provide 1-2 alternatives. Later slots tend to fill first. Please consider signing up for an early date. Beer will taste better the rest of the semester after your early talk. Give a talk
late, and you have months to stress about it. =-)</div>
