On behalf of my colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to the above named webinar. The webinar is part of activities organised by working parties within IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organisations).
__________________________________________________________________
Please find below the details for a webinar series hosted by the new Working Party 7.03.16, "Behaviour and chemical ecology of forest insects". Each seminar includes an introductory talk by an invited seminar leader followed by two research talks and a final open discussion. The seminars occur every 2 weeks starting September 17 until November 12 and run from 13:30 until 15:00 UTC (this is 9:30 AM EST, 6:30 AM PST and 15:30 CEST). The seminar series is hosted through the FABI, University of Pretoria academic zoom account and will also stream to a YouTube channel we have created for the WP (this will allow us to post the webinars there and make them available for the community to view if they are unable to attend the webinar). The webinars are open to all but to join the webinar individuals must register online at the site provided in the flyer, registration triggers an auto response email that provides you with the link to access the seminars and allows us to track participation and limit the risk of unwelcome visitors.
Best wishes,
Jeremy Allison, Andres Gonzales and Sigrid Netherer
