Intensive class in Data-driven ecological synthesis 
The Quantitative & Computational Ecology lab and Pr. Timothée Poisot at Université de Montréal is organizing the fourth edition of its intensive class in Data-driven ecological synthesis. This week-long intensive class will give early-career ecologists the tools and skills needed to interact with, manage, clean, and analyze data in a transparent and eproducible way. We will specifically work on leveraging open data to address new ecological questions at large spatial and temporal scales. Over the course of seven days, including learners-led projects to be continued after the class, we will cover:

• good practices for data management
• good practices in scientific computing
• good practices for programming with data
• data cleaning and data analysis tools
• notions of parallel computing for data processing
• data visualization and presentation
• ensuring reproducibility of analyses

2019 ESA+USSEE Joint Meeting: Call for Contributed Abstracts
ESA & USSEE invite contributed abstracts (talks and posters) for the upcoming joint meeting in Louisville. The deadline to submit an abstract is Thursday, February 21st at 5:00 pm Eastern (2:00 pm Pacific).

Under the theme Bridging Communities and Ecosystems: Inclusion as an Ecological Imperative: The community of people engaged in the science of ecology is transforming, bringing important new perspectives into the field. Inclusive approaches to ecology can build bridges between theory and practice, connect those working in disparate landscapes and subdisciplines, and incorporate diverse perspectives. Such approaches support ecologists and the ecological community as a whole as they articulate socio-environmental connections, address widespread ecosystem change, take advantage of technological advancements that provide unprecedented access to data and new analytical techniques, and engage in interdisciplinary collaborations.
