Hi UKPN - Here's an online session for you if Marine Biology is your thing...or even if it isn't! Best, Allen ----------------------------- APECS Virtual Poster Session on Marine Biology Thursday 19 May at 19:00 GMT We are excited to announce the May Virtual Poster Session with two early career scientists presenting on: 1) Anne Helene Tandberg: “A ‘teenage family’ in a crowded mussel?” Extended parental care in Metopa glacialis associated with Musculus discors? 2) Marta Acosta Plata: "Whale watching: a key platform to study male sperm whales in Norway and the North Atlantic" To join the call / chat room, you will need to go to: http://connect.canterbury.ac.nz/apecs/vps_may2011/. Login in as guest and provide your name in the name box. To reserve a spot, please send an email to Claudia Maturana ([log in to unmask]) or Tosca Ballerini ([log in to unmask]). Remaining spots will be available on a first come, first serve basis. The session will be conducted through an online meeting system (Adobe Acrobat Connect) hosted by the University of Canterbury. There is a great and easy to understand tutorial video showing you how to join one of these calls if you haven't before: http://apecs.is/virtual-poster-session/live-sessions.

For those not familiar with the APECS Virtual Poster Session - this effort focuses on bringing the concept of the poster presentation beyond the four walls of the conference hall and creates an online database of polar research poster publications. This project allows members with similar goals and interests to exchange information and assures a platform for the exchange of Arctic, Antarctic and Cryospheric research, policy, and education activities that are Shaping the Future of Polar Research - and our calls let you share your research *LIVE* with people around the world!
