  • Spoke with Prof. Jim Carey about getting Data Mangement Workshop videocast with Cametasia (and possibly Adobe Connect for live streaming).  Jim has worked with Entomology seminar series, and UCTV on videocasting seminars, see his recent PLoS Biology paper Carey et. al. 2010.
  • Spoke with Marissa about some of the resources at NCEAS. Learned a bit about data standards from FGDC and NBII.
  • Working on manuscript revisions (phylogenetics)
  • Writing (warning signals)
