Hello Ecologgers! My name is Lauren Kiser; I am finishing my first year in the MS (Integrated Environmental Science) program at Bethune-Cookman University in FL. I am writing you all because I would like to offer a volunteer opportunity to experienced scientists who have an interest in furthering the education of students like myself. In our IES program, we have a seminar every Friday where we give presentations, host speakers, etc. This summer, we will be holding summer courses and I wanted to continue our seminars, but rather than presentations, I would like to introduce a field techniques aspect. I am interested in bringing in people who have experience with radio telemetry, GPS/maps and navigational skills, small mammal trapping, program MARK, radio collaring, scat tracking dogs, just about anything!! We students come from broad backgrounds and have diverse interests, and would love to gain experience with multiple techniques. If you think you have something to offer and wouldn't mind coming to sunny FL for a weekend, we would love to learn from you! I do believe that our program has the funds available to cover your traveling expenses. If interested, please reply to me (make sure you don't reply all!), or you can reach me by phone at (908) 268-9876. If summer is not possible, fall is another option. Thanks for your consideration and I hope to hear from some of you. :) And a Happy Belated Easter to you all!
