The LTER monthly community call provides an opportunity to hold seminars, discussions, and learning opportunities of relevance to the broad LTER research community. These may include research seminars, discussions of emerging projects and methods, or the occasional organizational update. LTER Community Calls are scheduled for every fourth Wednesday at 9 a.m. Pacific Time (10 a.m. MT / 11 a.m. CT / Noon ET)
Since September, 2024, a group of 25 graduate students and postdocs have been meeting weekly as part of the Synthesis Skills for Early Career Researchers (SSECR; [SEE-ker]) course. SSECR addresses the need for more comprehensive interpersonal and data skills in ecology and is structured around small group synthesis projects. On May 22, the Network Office is holding a special Community Call where SSECR participants will share the outcomes of their synthesis projects to date.
