The Long Term Ecological Research Network All Scientists Meeting was held this past week in Pacific Grove, CA. Dr. Sydne Record presented research from a cross-site LTER REU collaboration with REUs, Kyra Hoerr BMC ’20 (mentored by Sydne) and Cameo Chillcut (mentored by Phoebe Zarnetske). Dr. Record also had the chance to run a workshop on synthesis of long term community data based on work she is doing with the LTER Metacommunity Synthesis Group at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis. What a fun week of science, whales, and sun!
