*** Cork ECS 2000 ***
Hi Everyone,
Now that everyone has got over their jet-lag from Maui it's time to think
about the next ECS meeting in Cork in April 2000.
Coming soon.... a new conference website at the ECS homepage.
The abstract deadline has passed and I hope lots of students submitted their
work for possible presentation. Students are a very important element of
every ECS conference and Cork will be no exception! Cork is an easy city to
travel to and there are plenty of cheap hostels for accommodation. However,
it is very important to make EARLY bookings since Easter is a busy time of
year. Here are the phone numbers of the three biggest and best hostels in
Cork.
Isaac's Hostel 00 353 (0)21 508388
Sheila's Hostel 00 353 (0)21 505562
Kinlay House 00 353 (0)21 508966
All of the above offer a choice of accommodation from as cheap as £8 per
night for a bunk in a dormitory.
We also still have a few opportunities for assisted conference attendance
for students who are willing to be volunteer helpers during the meeting.
Workshop
Next year we are planning a workshop which will deal with planning,
presenting and publishing scientific work. This workshop will be open to
everyone (not just students) and it is hoped that it will help people to
communicate their work to others, and to make the most of their scientific
work. If anyone has suggestions for topics for the workshop please let us
know.
I will be away on fieldwork until March so Sinead Murphy another cetacean
PhD student in Cork has kindly volunteered to be a contact while I'm away.

I will be able to recieve e-mails occasionally at:
