 Are you working on (or interested in) synthesizing research across LTERs? Do you think your work could benefit by engaging PIs from every site? Do you have an idea for a project or paper that could emerge from such a set of discussions? Are you prepared to further develop the idea?
The LTER Executive Board is seeking input regarding topics for future Science Council meetings. Full details on the LTER Network website.

Request for contributions to and reviewers for a special edition of Frontiers in Marine Science
The Special Edition of Frontiers in Marine Science called Diversity and Inclusion: Broadening the Frontiers of Marine Science and Technology, has three main goals: (1) to highlight the current research around increasing diversity and inclusion in marine science and technology; (2) to serve as a platform to more broadly disseminate successful approaches, interventions, practices, and programs focused on diversity and inclusion in marine science and technology; (3) to encourage scholars from underrepresented and marginalized groups in publishing their own research on these topics. This edition will become a resource to those committed to helping dismantle the cultural, societal, and academic barriers for individuals from historically excluded populations within marine science and technology.
The deadline for manuscript submission is December 15th. Please consider submitting and share widely. We are also looking for reviewers.

A Meditation on Mosquitos
— by Nick Link
"As I find myself in the dog days of an Alaskan summer – powerless to change my bug-infested situation – there is no choice but acceptance. So, from parts unknown of the Alaskan Bush, a meditation. Not because I’m spiritual, but because I’m miserable." Read more>>

Modeling Provides Clues for Salt Marsh Health
— by Kyle Runion
"When I try to explain my research as a graduate student with the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER, some people first think that “salt marsh modeling” refers to influencer-like photoshoots of wetlands. The “models” I refer to...describe some ecosystem component or process." Read more>>

A collection of old friends here—first, a mutualistic interaction between the corals at the MCR LTER, and second, a mutualistic interaction between colleagues, old and new, at the Hubbard Brook LTER. Goes to show that collaboration is key far beyond academia!
