Herp Group April 25 -- Anne Chambers -- Hosted in El Cerrito

[Rebecca Tarvin]

Hello everyone,

This coming Monday is the last (!) Herp Group of the semester. I can't believe it. Our speaker will be Anne Chambers, Postdoctoral Scholar in the Wang lab at UC Berkeley. The title of her talk is A Tale of Two Contact Zones.

We will mix things up this time as I will be hosting the event at my house in El Cerrito. You'll be able to enter the enclosed patio room through the wooden gate to the right and back of the house. I'll have some beers and non-alcoholic refreshments to share starting at around 6pm. The event will begin as usual at 6:40pm. 

Address: 6120 Alvarado Pl, El Cerrito, CA 94530

There is plenty of free street parking if you choose to drive. For transit, there are two options. The 7 AC transit bus leaves from Allston Way and Shattuck Ave at 5:38pm and 6:08pm. You can take it to the Barrett Ave and Carquinez Ave stop (approx 30-min ride), which is just half a block from the house. Alternatively you can take the orange or red BART line towards Richmond to the El Cerrito del Norte stop, then it's a 1-mile walk up the hill to my house (takes about 25-min).

Please let me know if you plan to attend so that I can be sure to find enough chairs.

We will attempt to set things up for zoom as well but I will update with more details later this weekend once we have the logistics of the projector sorted out. 

Looking forward to it.

Hi, Becca,

I am really glad you are willing and able to host Herp Group Monday evening.  I've thought a lot about it, and while I would very much like to be there in person, I don't think I can.  It's a combination of my transportation issues and the fairly close gathering of a group of people, the latter both regarding masks, etc., and also because it's so close to the "anniversary" of Dave's passing that I'm rather too uncomfortable with people...  I must conquer that by May 7th!!

I do plan to be in my office on Wednesday, though, and I look forward to tea with you.

If you do work out a way to do Zoom Monday evening, I'll be "there", but don't do it if it would be as complicated as I fear it might be...

With apologies,

Marvale

Hi everyone,

A reminder that Herp Group is on for tomorrow. Our speaker will be Anne Chambers, Postdoctoral Scholar in the Wang lab at UC Berkeley. The title of her talk is A Tale of Two Contact Zones. See the email below for information about how to get to 6120 Alvarado Pl, El Cerrito, CA 94530. Bryan Bach (cc'd) said he can drive a few people from campus, so please contact him if you would like a ride. 

I've heard from ~8 people who will be coming but I'm hopeful more will be able to join in person -- would be nice to see you all. The room has several windows and a door that we can open for some ventilation. 

I just tested out our zoom capability and it seems to be working, so tomorrow we will be going hybrid. Here's the zoom link.
